Bro that’s a Subaru just loosen it then wait a few second it will all drain down and not make a mess.
Same for the TSI or TFSI engines from VW/Audi...
Nice
Even better tip? No tools needed?
Crack the oil cap. Does the same trick by relieving crankcase pressure and giving the trapped oil somewhere to move quicker.
There should be no pressure in the crankcase. Even if there was how would this drain the filter?
@1985230ce I do this almost every day. Maybe crankcase pressure was the wrong descriptor but what you're doing is allowing a spot for air to escape so that oil from that filter can move to your oil pan and pump passages smoother and drain it from the top end without causing back pressure in sealed areas. Things flow easier.
@@eikon7073 Ok. You go on believing that.
Man are you for real? Its sad you discount something someone has told you without even trying to understand it or go practically do it yourself before you run your mouth. I learned it from a co worker who's been a tech for the past 13 years and it works every time I've attempted it. The area inside the crankcase on a Subaru is smaller than most engines due to the design of the block. Simply giving air a place to go allows the oil to flow better out of the filter and down to the crank case. Don't believe me? I don't really care. Keep stabbing holes in your filter, it's literally doing the same thing. More than one way to skin a cat. If you're so passive aggressive you don't even attempt to broaden your understanding of something before passing judgement and acting like you know everything, I really don't care what you have to say, bud. You're not the company I tend to keep.
@@eikon7073 Draining the crankcase is not the same as draining the filter.
Cool! Great Tip WrenchingMafia👍

First time I've seen this. I thought i knew all the tricks. Thanks
I remember my cousin always told me whenever you go to buy a car, the first thing you do is take off the valve cover. Look at the oil. If it’s smooth and clean, it’s a good engine. Buy the car. If it’s not, then don’t buy it.
Or just crack the filter enough to let air in. The bowl on subarus is designed to help keep you from making a mess. Crack, wait, remove no punch needed.
Or you can just wipe the perch with a rag as you should be anyways when replacing the oil filter to remove dirt and debris from the area.
I don't need to do this. Just open fill, crack oil filter, drain oil, put back drain plug, replace filter, fill with oil. Done. No need for this.
Always love to see a good quality carquest filter
I wish my oil filter on my 95 nissan truck was that accessible. I gotta go through the wheel well to loosen and hurry down the front to catch it. Always a mess.
Best tip is a Remote oil filter
I always spin it off just enough so it drains but doesn't spill and I just let it all drain out while I lift the car and drain the oil. Faster than grabbing a punch and hammer
Dont do this risk of metal or other debris getting into the engine isnt worth being "cleaner"..
I think if your gloves are good enough
All fun and games when you do this to a used car you bought and realize you can’t get the filter off since it’s stuck and you need to buy other tools to remove it, but now you have a hole on your filter 😂
Duct tape, dude. Obviously.
Super glue the hole
If an appropriate oil filter wrench is not available, wouldn't a pipe wrench, either a channel lock type or a vise grip type, with a chain, be able to remove a stuck oil filter? If those are not available, you can use an old screw driver to horizontally punch a hole into (or through the top of ) the filter (away from the base) and use that to turn the stuck oil filter loose.
Obviously, after having punched a hole on top of the filter, as shown in the video.
I can think of 15 different ways to get it off after putting a hole into it with tools/items I could find anywhere.
good idea. I'll tell the guy at jiffy lube about this!
The most useless tip I’ve seen😂 if you just loosen it, wait like 6 seconds, and take it off it won’t make a mess
😔
I mean you could loosen the filter and let it drain down in, but I won't stop you from poking holes in shit
I like the music
Yeah risk that punched metal going into your oil galleys.
If you're punching a hole hard enough to get shards to come off, you're hitting that punch too hard. In other words, it's not gonna happen unless you're dumb.
No even small bits of debris you can barely see can damage these newer engines due to very tight bearing clearances, thin piston rings , smaller than a grain of sand , plus what other debris maybe hiding on that punch that may get accidentally sent into engine .. cool tip in theory, but not in real life ..
Is this Subaru ?
Yep.
