Tried to get my filter off from my motorcycle. After 30 minutes, i opened YouTube and came across your video, and it worked like a charm. Thanks for sharing.

[jrayez]

Never seen this before so thank you for sharing. My problem is I've never seen an oil filter that accessible!

[mainelyworthwhile]

Thank you! Had a fire a while back and never replaced my strap wrench, hadn't needed it til now. Bought a slightly used ram 6.4 at a stealership and they changed the oil prior to purchase. Apparently Hulk was working that day. In 35 yrs of changing oil never had one on that hard! Thanks for sharing! Worked like a champ.

I didn’t have enough room to get my breaker bar in there so I wrapped the excess strap around the S hook and was able to pull on the strap with both hands. Like climbing a rope. IT CAME LOOSE IMMEDIATELY! Thank you for the video. Got me out of a jam on my Mazda cx90.

I just wanna echo all the positive comments here. I didn’t have an oil filter wrench small enough to fit my new car oil filter because I’m used to driving Land Rovers! Lol

I have a ratchet strap holding in my emergency kit, and it sure worked great! Thanks so much for taking the time to post this.

I owe you a beer! This tip got me out of a bind.

I just tried this on a tractor hydraulic filter that was well and truly fused. For extra grip, I ended up stretching a small section of a motorcycle inner tube between the strap. I almost had to stand on a small pry bar to get it to turn but it worked!

You just saved me for real!!! I had no idea how I was going to get this filter off because the wrench was not working!!!!

[joshb]

You saved my butt today. Tried this on my Toyota SUV where there isn't enough room for large channel locks. I keep forgetting to pick up an oil filter wrench at the store so decided to give this a try. I used a strap like yours but room is tight so I used a wrench for the handle and it worked like a charm. It was a bit tricky getting it on with one hand but once I got it in place I was able to just pull up on the wrench and get more torque on it rather than trying to twist it with my wrist. Thanks for the idea! I won't forget this one.

Thank you sir! I purchase oil filter pliers, two of the fancy wrenches that grab the filter and squeeze. I also broke a corded drill, nearly burnt up my impact drill and broke one of the new wrenches in the process. But this trick you showed us work like a charm!
I will never forget this trick and when my son grows up and over tightens the oil filter on his car like his dad did when he was young ill be happy to show him this trick.
Thank you

[tracyjamison]

This definitely helped me after I was stuck trying to get the filter off for 15 minutes. Couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw it turn. THANK YOU SIR!

[marcomedina]

I write this comment 15 min before midnight, having to work tomorrow...you my friend are a life saver

[drummerjake]

Used this trick today. Had the dealer do my last oil change and they went ham when tightening it up. Thank you!

[joelsmith]

Thanks for sharing this. My wife took our van to have the previous oil change done. I went under to do one today and the shop had put on a smaller filter than they should have. Your trick got me out of a bind!

[hotracingchildable]

Dude works like a charm. Have a 6.7 diesel I just got, first oil change and I didn't have the right wrench out of the many I have. THANK YOU!

[TheJumpRopeAddict]

Filter on my mower was super tight and I’ve never needed a filter wrench so I’ve never bought one. First video that came up so I watched and gave it a try and had the filter off in less than a minute, thanks

[moisesjasso]

I was trying to loosen up my filter for the past 30 min. This video saved my life. Very nice and smart. This string costs you 1.49 at any dollar store. Thank Thank. Happy new year

[yafetabedo]

Thank you very much my friend, I spent a lot of money on oil filter removal tool for my volvo VNL with no luck. Your video was the only trick that worked.

[rp]

THANK YOU SO MUCH. I have so many different sized oil filter wrenches but can never find them when I need them. It works so good. Actually, better in tight spaces than the wrenches.

[angelodickerson]

This just helped me a ton! Tried using my slippery bare hand and it just wasn’t doing it. Was on college campus changing my oil and I had no tools but luckily I had a hatchet strappp!!! Thank you sir!

[KalvinistKyle]

I just had to inform you, i tried your tip with my belt and a wrench...totally works. What i noticed was leather grips, and wrench leveraged against the belt itself helps tighten it as you push. Thanks a lot!
