Haha yeah he's tied for first!!! I'm trying to get more posts so I can help the 2nd Gen machine keep rolling!

By the way, i've never filled up my oil filter before putting it on, and I don't think I know anyone who does do that.

Go over to off topic. I am sure you can ***** your way into 50 posts.

I have pre filled my filters for more years than most of you are old. I also use the larger filter on my 87 D100 (not enough room on the 5th ave.) since it was new and on the 96 too. The Mopars of the 1960's used the large one. You do have more square inches of filter media in the big one.

You did try the screwdriver through the filter trick?

If that doesn't get it, then I would say you need to cut the filter in half length wise, and try to get a grip on it with a pair of vice grips.


Oh, before you try those methods, use a strap wrench first.
