[Maelfyn]

**** **** piss ***** ****er **** suck **** ****er!

I can't get the oil filter off

[XYRCNCP]

:silly hehe :D......what happened is too tight to twist?

F it take it to the dealer.....hehe

sorry just had to fk with ya.

[Maelfyn]

I can't. I already drained the oil. Now I gotta buy an oil filter wrench. Wow, this oil change is going to cost me a cool $54 bucks.

[SeanCelicaGTS]

LoL, my damn oil filter is stuck too! running out to get a oil filter wrench right now

man, now it starting to snow a little

[yota_racer]

I also had to buy an oil filter wrench thing. I ended up snapping the damn thing though. I had to ghetto weld it back together. :D

[inline4]

I got my oil filter wrench for 8$ at Pep Boys.. It's the kind that looks like pliers and it is adjustable to fit a wide range of oil filters.

[The Game]

I paid $3 for mine at D.A.P.:)

[Kit99bar]

this happened to me once too maelf
it SUCKED

[Maelfyn]

$23 6 quarts of mobil 1 synthetic
$8 oil drain pan (too much)
$7 gas can to transport it in
$7 oil filter wrench
$2 oil bolt gasket
$5 oil filter
--------------------------------------------------------------------
$52

yay. Got it off with help from my Dad. He's so leet. Car is running nice I guess. Is it true you only need 5k miles for oil changes with synthetic?

[Kit99bar]

instead of buying a gas can
I use the empty containers of the new oil I just put in.

[t2000gts]

i'm assuming you mean the drain plug thing when you say oil bolt gasket?

should you change that with every oil change? where can i get one? the dealer?

if it's only $2 i might go and buy like a dozen or something to last me a while... :D

[Kit99bar]

why would you need to change this thing?
its like changing the oil cap that's in the engine or something
useless

sounds like what happen to my freind, didnt have a oil wrench at the time, so he gets pissed, grabs a screw driver and stabs it and works it off.

later we got him a oil wrench...

:)

[VVTL-i-KiCkIn]

oh yea my first mobil 1 oil change cost me about $70
lol

old oil filter's rubber gasket was still on the engine part, and I put the new one on top of it... and there was hole between engine and oil filter..
soon as start the engine, damn all new expensive mobil 1 oil was on the floor, leaked.. (don't buy cheap filters)
So I had to buy 4 more mobil one oils..

Anywayz why do you need 6qts of oils in celica?

4 1/2 is perfect.. 5 is too much.. 6 is way too much(you'll damage the engine)

save 1/2 for next oil change..

haha... this just happened to me this past Saturday. boy was I pissed when i saw the oil gushing out.

[VVTL-i-KiCkIn]

haha I thought I was only idiot.. J/k

yea.. now I learned to make sure to wipe out filtering area b4 puting a new one...

also run the engine for 3min after new oil.. and check for leaks(according to label on Genuine Toyota Oil Filter)

[Maelfyn]

I bought six because I got them in bulk at BJ's wholesale. Six for $22! Owned. I put in five quarts and did notice it was a bit high. Should I worry about this much? Should I keep putting the dip stick in and wiping it until I get rid of enough oil :rolleyes:

[VVTL-i-KiCkIn]

just becareful next time... I really don't know what's it gonna do to the engine.. it just saids on the manual..

LoL, it's gonna take all day and night to wipe it out with dipstick..

If you are worried, take out the oil filter and drain some of the oil left inside the oil filter, since u bought oil filter wrench..

[cruzerz545]

OK kids, once you get past the dealership oil change, do it yourself from now on.

TIP!!! :
Only put the oil filter on HAND TIGHT!!!!!


-jim-

[VZV21]

A little less than 3/4 turn, more like 5/8 of turn, so that no wrench is required for the next oil change.

[mickey513]

You can buy one of those little round oil filter remover from your Toyota dealer for $6. I got one from my dealer that fits only the Toyota oil filter 90915-YZZA2 or YZZA1, all I do is attach a extender to the socket wench and then attach that round oil filter remover thing to the extender, and thats it. Nice and simple. Only reason I bought this was because I had a hard time removing the oil filter with the oil filter wrench. This piece I bought from the dealer makes oil changes so much easier and quicker.

Oh, and yeah like what someone said. You hand tighten the oil filter, never use a wrench to tighthen it.....

[AznThugg2002]

6 quarts for 22? thats alot!! i but like 12 quarts of quaker state for like 20.

[CarbonB2000GT]

AznThugg2002- is that for synthetic?

[AznThugg2002]

i dont think so but synthetic is still only 5 dollars more at most. in fact i think its either cheaper or same price

[TaeMachine]

same thing happened to me the first time the celica got its first change. i have the band type filter wrench and and i couldnt get that to lock and turn. i went to pep boys and bought the smallest "cup" type wrench that connects to a ratchet but it was still too big so i wedged a rag in between. now its all hand tight.

[VZV21]

You could always get 5 qt jugs of synthetic for around $15.

[robare99]

Well this is me. My damn filter is stuck. Tried the little cup deal the filter is stripped, tried a boa wrench thingie but no go. Tomorrow I'm taking the afternoon off and seeing if I can buy an oil filter wrench. My other plan is to epoxy the little cup dealie onto the filter. I'm going to try that tomorrow if an oil filter wrench doesnt work.


God why does this $hit always happen to me!

[lamboceliGTS]

thats why i take mine to a shop.

[JOHN_B]

Very old thread.

----------------------
Mine always get stuck. The wrench cup will not work. I usually use oil filter wrench to take it out. What filter do you use? I use the Toyota one.

[JOHN_B]

How much does it cost you?

[robare99]

Yeah I know. But I did a search first before starting a new one and this one fit nicely LOL DAMN IT!

I'm going to take half a day off work and buy the oil filter wrench I need. Its a toyota filter. I just bought another half dozen. Why do I always think hand tight is not tight enough. :(

[lamboceliGTS]

How much does it cost you?
under $15 sometimes $20, if i trusted myself to do it i would but....

[JOHN_B]

^^ That's not bad! But what kind of oil do you use?
It cost me under $30 for Mobil Oil + filter. I might be switch to AmsOil, since the local hardware store sells them.

It very easy. Try it out.

[bman365]

i also had to buy a oil filter wrench before, but they were too long to move around the engine and actually get a grip on the thing ..but now..that i made me some ramps...i can easily get under my car and twist it off with my hands. What me and my friend ended up doing before i got a oil filter wrench, was get a big C shaped vise grip and clamp it on, bent the heck out of the oil filter but..who cares we needed it off.

easy fix to this problem anyways...do you own oil changes and dont over tighten..it dont take much

[robare99]

I always think hand tight will fall off :( damn

Great job searching for a similar topic, Rob, instead of making a new one, though this is a bit old.

Sucks that some noobs don't search before making lambo doors, electric superchargers, and power chip threads. :furious:

[RTZCeli]

Hahaha... I remember this when I first changed my oil. Damn that filter was b*tch...

[robare99]

This is about my 3rd time, so the only one to blame for the filter is me!


:(


lol

id rather have too much oil than too little.

[themuffinman]

To remove oil filter:

1: Try with your hands.
2: hurt your hand and get a bloody knuckle.
3: Get really pissed off
4: find hammer and screw driver
5: SHOVE THE GOD DAMN SCREW DRIVER THREW THE OIL FILTER
6: After loosening the oil filter remove the rest of the way with your un-injured hand
7: Laugh at yourself for being a *****
8: Throw the mangled oil filter in direction opposite of your car
9: Find oil filter and dispose of properly.

lol
At least this proves you're not an ass, cuz you stumped your hoof thrice on the same stone and we all know an ass only does it once :gap:

I usually don't need to use a wrench for the filter, but I have one that has these 3 legs that clamp closed when you apply a ratchet to it, dunno how it's called there.

[hyperboost01]

To remove oil filter:

...
4: find hammer and screw driver
5: SHOVE THE GOD DAMN SCREW DRIVER THREW THE OIL FILTER
....

most effective... for stubborn filters... don't forget to lube/fill the new filter thread and the rubber gasket to save yourself some trouble the next time.. by the way I use a mechanical filter wrench snap on adjustable filter wrench (http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item.asp?store=snapon-store&item_ID=11538&group_ID=1534)

BUT BE CAREFUL! MY FATHER TAUGHT ME THAT TRICK, AND HE ALSO TAUGHT ME TO WATCH WHAT IM PUTTING THE SCREWDRIVER THROUGH! WATCHED HIM PUT THE SD THREW MY POWERSTEERING PUMP AND ENDED UP HAVING A $240 OIL CHANGE.

[Toyota_Junkie_1]

I have always done my own oils changes, but it is was a B**** that first time when you are like who put this freakin oil filter on... The Hulk?

And that is when you resort to the method TheMuffinMan stated and just gab the screwdriver and rip the B**** right off of there.

But make sure when you right down your mileage for the oil change that time to make a note to buy an oil filter wrench before changing the oil the next time

[d3im05]

i lube the gasket every time, and hand tighten. I've never had a problem with stuck oil filters this way.

The K&N oil filter's got a hex nut at the end. maybe easier? :shrugs: only the price sets it back.

[d3im05]

ahah muffinman! i see my name in your sig. i think you have the names switched around.

Think easier, work easier... or something like that. lol

[Celica402GTS]

goes to show, u don't need to tighten any more then just hand tight..i'm about due for another oil change here soon..

I always thought that you are supposed to drain the oil closer to operating tempreature so that it will drain better. Doesn't that make your filter hot?

[robare99]

I found an oil wrench that basically looked like a loop of seatbelt material on a square piece of tubing. It fit in a 1/2" drive and I was able to get it off. I put the new replacement filter on HAND TIGHT! :)


Thanks for all the ****ing help! (in keeping with the spirit of the title)


:)

[TaeMachine]

It's good warm but not hot. You'll get oil in your hands anyway and you don't want to get burned from it.

[xantonin]

Nice thread thanks for bringing it up, I'm about to do my oil for the first time. :D

[02_celica_gt]

yeah i had this problem on my civic when i had it my dad was a total douche and tried to show off his muscles. but now i only use k&n oil filters on my cars due to the fact that have that little hex that you can slap a ratchet and socket on. but i take my car to valvoline cause im lazy haha. full synthetic change at valvoline<d.i.y

[xantonin]

On the topic of oil changes.. I found this:

Easy Flushes When Changing Oil - Drain out about one quart of oil. Replace that quart of oil with a quart of diesel. Run the engine (in place) for 3 minutes. Do NOT drive the car with the diluted oil in it. The diesel will help clean out passages in the head and will make the oil the thinner, so more comes out quicker when draining, bringing with it any dirt and grime. We have done this on our farm for over 50 years. My dad showed me how to do this growing up, and we now have 260,000 miles on our 94 Ford Crown Victoria with no engine wear (burning oil) and the engine has never been taken apart. Particulates that get trapped in passageways break free sooner or later!

Is that a good idea? Anyone done it?

[Mike21]

never heard of it. never had a problem changing my oil either, though.

[Barabaika]

Is that a good idea? Anyone done it?
Add a quarter a bottle of Seafoam into the oil 50-100 miles prior to changing it. Add the remaining seafoam into the gas tank.
http://www.seafoamsales.com/

It's so easy to buy a cheap but good oil filter wrench.

http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/01wdumqHu+L.jpg

[xantonin]

Sounds good. Seafoam it is, and oil wrench FTW!

[m0rgue]

daaaaamn. really old thread. started by Maelfyn none the less. i remember he was one of the first to rip everything out of the car and get some decent track times. man, time flies.

[vehicle_5]

^If you change your oil after your car has been running everything will be hot!!

To the OP, I feel your pain. After doing it my self the other day that is exactly how I felt!!

[Sty09]

I take mine to the shop, inexpesnive and saves me the stress

[RekD0514]

You guys need to put some oil on the filter's rubber gasket with your finger. Then hand tighten it. The oil will help it to come off easier when you go to take it back off.

[Ch33z]

thanks for reviving a 6 years old thread

It's god to bring up old threads instead of all the new newb q&a thats been on lately.
