Someone's removed my can? I don't have a filter can, just NAPA Gold 1671 filters screwed on. Someone once suggested punching a hold at the top and bottom of the filter. May be best solution so far.

I find that if I open this and let the can drain for a few minutes it helps. Still a messy job but not quite as bad.

When changing the oil filters, I've found I need to dress appropriately in preperation for an oil bath. The problem is that the line feeding the filters runs horizontally as it approaches the filters from above. As a result, as soon as the seal is broken during removal of the filters, the oil starts running down the outside of the filter as the oil in the run drains. This results in a mess and makes it extremely difficult to hold on to the already very smooth exterior of the filter to continue removing it. There must be a cleaner way to do this, but it is evading me. Any suggestions? Doug -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "UnifliteWorld" group.
