Yes but I've not had that problem. I love the truck and it's a great engine.

Definitely would make less mess- I'd make sure I can get it loosened first, just in case it can't be removed for some reason, rendering it undriveable.

steven grate idea and I do the same

Man I know what you mean, the other day I had a big job to do after work, I leapt into my car in the morning and took off without my phone (which I needed). Took 2hrs, 70miles and 2 extra $5 tolls to drive back get it and go again. If I spent 5mins extra every day preparing and avoided just one of these screw-ups a month I would be better off.

It looks like a factory installed oil filter and the factory oil filters are always one super tight. I work at a Ford dealership and I see it all the time.

I've used the metal band type with the 3/8" receiver and a socket wrench and never had trouble even on very tight filters. This plier type is something to have for emergency use only as I'd just prefer not having to dent in the filter every time, even if it's slated for disposal. The socket cup filter removers I've had sometimes don't hold well enough in extreme force situations, and slip. The band type gets tighter as more force is applied, so I found it to work best.

What's it matter? Filter is going in trash, dents are a non-issue.

Haha....yeah, they dont stay white for too long! :)

Gloves! To keep your hands white when spinning off the oil filter- :D

Wish I had seen this a bit earlier. Cannot remove factory-installed filter. Tried various devices and methods to get the ***** thing off (without success). In the process, I pulled the bike off the shop stand, and it hit the floor with a big-old crash. Now I have two body panels to replace. Not strong enough to remove a filter but strong enough to pull a 500 pound bike off a four-point stand. yay, I guess.

+Roberson Merriweather I like to get one but I doubt I'll see it up here in Canada like most stuff you have to look online.

Oh, so you'll reply to just anyone's comments, Robert. And here I thought I was special.

And don't you forget it! I'm particularly fond of just supporting US manufacturing in any way I can. I'm a home-gamer so I'm probably starting to get where I've got more tools than I really need but...don't tell my wallet that. Speaking of US made products, you should check out 'Dog Bed Kings' if you've got a dog. US made, competitively priced, orthopedic foam, and a kick ass customer service department.

I haven't had a midget hooker but I've had my fill of midget strippers and just regular midgets. I'm not sure if I commented about that one time in the church on Bruce's channel or not.

I'll bring it up on his channel at some point then. This channel just seems too clean for that sorta talk, ya know? haha

oh yeah!? you got a very strong grip!

I will check them out.....thanks for the suggestion!

Lucas Synthetic Oil Additive (32oz)

Baerchenization I have to change my oil every 2k and it's very dark then. So I believe it's a very common thing for it to be dark early on.

Yes, with emissions-saddled diesels, the oil is black almost instantly.

Your only changing oil every 20k... dude most vehicles I’ve owned consume around 1 quart of oil per 5k miles. By the time you’d do your oil change you’d be down 4 quarts and it’ll all that would be left is sludge. Change your oil every 5k max. 3k if you have an older vehicle.

@@-Nobody-1 This is the profoundly dumbest thing I have read in a long time. Are you familiar with the concept of checking your oil level and topping it up?! This is outrageous :)

@@Baerchenization dude, I’m a mechanic, been doing it for years. Don’t go 20k on an oil change. Don’t go 10k like some Manf. Are saying with new cars. 5k is acceptable with a newer car running synthetic. This is pretty standard. And if you don’t hit mileage for an oil change within 12 months. Than change every 12 months. Pretty standard.

I like the Zyklop metal ratchets --- however they CANNOT be disassembled to service/lube them. I imagine you can soak them with silicone spray or oil, but I have a 3/8" metal version & it is sealed. That being said, I have never "needed" to dissemble it, but it would be nice. The speed versions are unique & I like them too....WERA makes great tools, but comparing the two --- the metal versions are much slimmer.....the speed versions are somewhat large. I have a review coming up soon...stay tuned!

+Real Tool Reviews good the know you're one step ahead. Thanks for the reply.

👀

The picture is wrong. Check out the part #, that is what is important.

that's a quick reply there. but your sure its the pair of pliers you used to take off the oil filter right? the one with off set handle + head. I will order one now if you can confirm for me one more time because I already have the other pairs. Thanks a lot .

Yes, what I reviewed is part # 2012 ---- check it out on the Channellock site here to confirm --- www.channellock.com/2012-oil-filter-pvc-plier-angled-head.aspx?

Thanks again lol I wish they had the right picture the first time. Another sweet tool coming , I bought quite some tools from your channel here lol thanks for the good job.

Awesome! Glad to help! :)

For the camera angle 😉

The newer vids aren’t nearly as bad.....hahaha

What’s wrong with your eyebrows

Well, basically I do not want to wait until the engine starts to wear out prior to preventing additional wear.....if you use it from the start, then you will not have dry starts caused by thinner synthetic oils --- preventing damage & helping the motor last the absolute longest possible. I know that they say it extends oil life by up to 50%, but I use it to prevent additional wear. I still change the oil at recommended intervals. That being said, I have used the LUCAS non-synthetic additive in ALL oil changes on my other vehicles & the LUCAS non-synthetic stop-leak oil additive on an older Honda that had worn out valve stem seals (smoked like a train at startup) ---- the smoking basically stopped completely & consumption (burning) went down significantly. On standard motors with regular oil (non-synthetic), the regular additive has quieted them down a lot & also prevented dry starts. A minor investment for a major benefit (premature engine wear).

Real Tool Reviews Good to know, thanks
