Mechanic Hack: Removing a Stuck Oil Filter with Anti-Slip Tape.
Problem: The oil filter is completely seized, and your standard cup wrench just slips and rounds off the edges. The Hack: Before you punch a messy hole in it with a screwdriver or buy an expensive specialty tool, try Anti-Slip Tape (grip tape). How to: Simply place a piece of anti-slip tape between the rounded filter and your cup wrench. Tap it in to make it snug. The tape fills the gap and provides massive friction, allowing the wrench to bite into the metal and loosen the stubborn filter effortlessly. A cheap and brilliant garage hack!
