I gotta ask...I changed my oil and filter about 2 weeks ago. Forgot to ask but how on EARTH do you get the oil filter off EASILY? Took me about 40min to get it off.

It took me about 30 seconds to loosen mine, Oil Filter strap wrench, Now I have the K&N Oil Filter that has the nut on the back of it, so it will e even easier next time.

didnt have a problem with mine

just go to advanced auto or somewhere and spend the 7 bucs to get a oil filter wrench. and then you can get what ever oil filter you want not just a k&n oil filter that costs that much alone.

When I did my first oil change the filter was really on there tight. I advise against getting a normal oil filter wrench , at least the kind that is bare metal to take it off. I went to sears got a set of craftsman strap wrench and went at it. Took me some 10 mins but it came off.

guys can i get the K&N part number.. my local advanced auto said they didnt have a number in their computer.

just go on the k&n web site, and enter in the srt-4 search by car function... it'll list the filter there for you as well as other Srt-4 specific products from them

Or the computer at Advance or Autozone will list it as the filter for the PT cruiser twith turbo engine. Same filter.

I used a rubber strap wrench on the factory filter... by the time it was off, it was crushed pretty good...

they sure put'em on tight..

other than that, this is one easy, accessable filter....

what's with the nut on the K&N...i havent seen it? it's on the outside and just screws off???

 

[Pheare]

I would guess there is a nut on the end of the filter. Thus allowing you to use a regular wrench to get it off.

I would guess...

 

[Satellite]

hehe...that's what "guessed" too. Maybe I should just go look at one...

I bought filter pliers. Work great for me. Takes me a whole two seconds to get it loose enough to get my fat hands to unscrew it.

A chain link fence post strap with a socket extension works just as good too. I found that out one night after mangling the oil filter on another car with a strap wrench and then made it worse with a screwdriver. (Anybody tells you to use a screwdriver, don't do it!) The post strap works in a similar fashion as the strap wrenches, but doesn't tighten up when you crank on it. It took all of ten secs once I put it on the filter. Occasionally may need some duct tape sticky side out for some filters. Has worked well for a few years now on multiple cars. Makes me wonder why some people think the filter has to be on so f'ing tight! :eeeek:
