Good morning,

What bell did you use to remove the oil filter? I bought a self-adjusting bell and it doesn't work, it slips on the notches and it doesn't unscrew, I'm struggling

This is the most important thing…!

mine doesn't fit through the mess of hoses!!

Unable to remove the cap… it is completely blocked.

Anyone have any ideas?

Hello

Why do people jack up their car to change oil, unless they have a lowered car.

Just hold out your arm and it goes through smoothly.
