Default RE: DIY Maintenance: Oil Change

I use a wrench that looks like a vice grip on steroids. Works great. That strap thing looks kinda cool though. What is the strap, velcro or something?

Yeah, I think I've been puttingthe filteron too tight. I've been turning it on by hand until I can't turn it anymore, and then going at it with the wrench for the extra 3/4 turn. I can't even make it all the way around to 3/4 though. I thnk from now on I'm gonna stop at hand tight like I do on my scoot. I guess the diesel still has me a bit intimidated huh?
