Sometimes you win, sometimes you don't. A lot of machinery and bigger trucks have easy access filters. Some passenger vehicles will also have enough clearance for this method. I think the newer the car, the tighter the engine bay though. This tip worked a charm for me.

On my 2013 Chevy Malibu it has a metals cover covering half the surface of the filter almost like a shield the manufacturers do this so you have to pay for someone to do it for you but there’s always a way to do something yourself sometimes it’ll be a little harder but it’s worth it

I agree, I've never looked at the one on a Malibu but there's usually a way. May have to take the shield off. I have to take the skid plate off to grease my truck.

Yea, my daughter's RAV4 gives me no room (that's after taking off the shield). It's always a pain when I change her oil. Every car is different. I did my neighbor's Hyundai Santa Fe for her, and the oil filter was under the hood.

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.

Mate..... 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!

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

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!!!!

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.

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!

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.

This tip was super helpful. I had to replace an oil filter on a used 09 yamaha motorcycle. The clearance around this filter was impossible to get to. This trick was the only way I was finally able to start to spin it loose.

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!

I used this technique to get the oil filter off my Honda CR-V using a dog collar and the back of an adjustable wrench. Took some wrangling, but I got it eventually. Thanks for the tip.

I did this on Christmas morning with 2 wrenches and a dog leash. Thanks for the tip

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!

Pretty neat little idea that proves to work! Now why didn't I think of that before! Thanks for sharing your idea with other DIY'ers.

Worked effortless, even with filter in very tight spot! Great when you don't have "an old belt". Always have straps in the car 😇!

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

Worked great, improvised by tying the other end around the frame and ratcheting the oil filter just enough to be able to get it off by hand. Also crushed it real good.

My favorite filter wrench is an old leather belt. Loop it around the filter in such a way that the harder you pull the tighter it squeezes. I can crush oil filters from exerting so much force using this method.
