Top Tip:

To help prevent oil filters sticking, wipe a light coat of clean engine oil onto the rubber sealing ring before fitting the new filter.

Also ensure the filter housing face is clean, smooth and free from rust this makes removal much easier next time.

Another Top Tip:

If you come across a filter that’s seized to the engine block, wrap the filter body with something like Silweld tape to create extra grip and a cushioning layer.

This helps reduce slippage and lowers the chance of crushing or damaging the filter apply several wraps rather than using too little.
