I live in canby and work in clackamas.

If no one can hook me up I'll resort to the destroy the filter method haha.

Thanks in advance!

Just pound a long screwdriver through it and use it like a lever punch a hole to drain the oil first.

The screw driver idea is great in theory but in this case it wasn't working.

I ended up with a huge channel lock vise gripped together moving .000005 mm a turn until it finally busted.

4.5 hour oil change!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It works great...unless someone puts the filter on gorilla-tight.

my last oil change took two days start to finish, thanks to some genius jiffy loob tech stripping out my drain plug.
