Add a little oil to the radiator?

In the end I had to drill a hole into the front of the car to gain access to the release mechanism of the jack.

^^^ Necessity is the mother of invention. ^^^

Finally oil drained.

But all the filter tools I have don't work on removing the bold Nissan oil filter. It's gonna be a long night.

Clever. Glad you resolved it.

The dude abides.

Reported for off topic. :icon23: :icon17:

Did you try grabbing the filter with your hand and turning it?

Yeah. Even both hands a few times. No joy.

A big pair of Channellocks (or equiv) has worked for me before. Grip close to the base of the filter. Try not to collapse the filter housing.

If all else fails, drive a long screwdriver through the filter. Make sure you have a BIG pan under the car.

Doing the later just now. Waiting for most of it to drain. Gonna push the other end of the screw driver out also for better grip being careful not to put an hole on the hose. Lol

When you put the new filter back on, put a little bit of oil on the gasket (the used oil works great) and only tighten hand tight. A good rule-of-thumb is to screw the filter on until the gasket just touches the engine and then an eighth to a quarter turn more. Check for leaks. Tighten ~1/16 of a turn as needed. Do that and it will be MUCH easier to remove the filter next time.

Yeah. Thanks. Always hand tighten.
