what do you mean stuck. are you using your hand only or a oil filter wrench. if so, is it a perfect fit? if the wrench fits ok, turn harder. if u don't have a oild filter wrench, you can take a long thin screwdriver and ram it through the entire filter and loosen it that way. you might have to poke through a couple tiimes before it's loose enough to undo by hand. hope that helps. i wonder how tight you made it for it to not come off, assuming u have a wrench that fits.

Start the motor, let it run till it warms up, then shut it down and as the metal cools it will contract. Soon after get on it with the filter wrench and it should easily break lose. Using your hands as a wrench don't always work.

You can put channelocks on the base and loosen it. If still not, use a hammer and a chisel. Put the chisel tip on the base and tap the base loose.

Next time, lube the filter gasket with fresh oil and tighten by hand ONLY. Oil filter wrenches are for taking them OFF :wave2:

Wait...this thread is about your filter?

Is this a new screen name?
