Just finished my first oil change, what a pleasure!

Interestingly enough, the Workshop Manual states not to lubricate the oil filter gasket.

I'll have to look for something like that. I was really surprised to find that all the different strap wrenches, filter caps, and filter pliers I have were all just a little too big.

I profusely apologize but I see you write strap and I immediately think of this...

I am getting tired of the dealers being booked up and having to wait hours so I ordered the Fumoto valve and hose and will attempt mine next week. I am thinking about taking a punch and poking a hole in the oil filter to let it drain before taking it off like they do on my Detroit diesel.

Okay, I’m curious what you have a DD in.

Any conjecture as to why that is?
