To those who change your own oil on NNBS vehicles

[07Burb]

Do you all have an issue with getting the oil filter tight enough?? That thing is so close to the pan and up in that little crevice that I'm having an issue getting it tight enough and not working it's way loose again. Twice now when I've changed my oil within a couple weeks of the change I've had to go back and re-tighten the filter cuz it's started leaking.

Anyone else have this issue? I normally like doing my own oil changes but with the overly difficult filter issue I may not do that with the Burb anymore

Im with u on this one. It is very difficult to tighten it up but luckily i have skinny hands lol so I could work my way. and when I want to take it off I use the technic my dad has used since I can remember. Just tie a belt around it and pull haha

I just use an oil filter wrench to give it that last cinch to keep it snug.

I've tried that too but apparently I can't ge enough of the wrench on it to tighten it adequately. I think I may start using K&N oil filters cuz they have a nut on them so that you can use a socket wrench on them.

I use K&N oil filters so it's easy since they have a nut on the bottom of it

walmart sells a filter "cap wrench" that fits on the end of the filter, think this would help?

Yeah, I think that's what I'm going to resort to rather than the AC Delco that I've always used....

I've got several filter 'cap wrenches' but there is not enough room for them to fit on the filter on the nnbs rigs. The filter is too close to the pan....
