From reading on here I knew that removing the factory installed oil filter would be tough. I finally attempted it today at just under 2,000 miles.
I wanted to do it myself since like a lot of you I don't trust dealership mechanics. I used an endcap type tool with 3/8 in. drive from Autozone. The newer ones they have are all one piece hardened steel. A 3/8 breaker bar and slow steady pressure made it easy. The gasket did come off of the filter but was easy to remove from the housing. Glad thats over!!!!

This was the greastest find for oil filter removal. It worked like a charm on my first filter change, even reefs off the huge 1-gallon oil filter on my Fleetwood Revolution's 400hp diesel Caterpillar engine. This thing can tackle any filter providing you have access. Since getting one, no more screwdriver through the filter...

I got mine off. Wasn't too bad.
