If my oil filter wrench doesn't do the job, I just do what FP does... stab it with a screwdriver and twist lol

makes you feel better too just stabbing that little bastard lol











sadly i want that aFe filter but only place i can get one here in time is amazon they got one left and it's $25.....i'll take the $9.99 purolator lol

From what I've deduced, when the sensor itself reads 160 the oil temp in the channels is 180, so it's not the end of the world.

Use either of these will work fine
