Do you make video's and narrate them for a living,lol.That's one of the most professional home video's i've ran across,and it's good.Great idea
kadSenior MemberVery clever idea. I've never seen a flat sided water jug like that sold around here, but I'll be looking for one now. -K
LoudramJust a sinner saved by graceThat is seriously clever. Nice job. I'm doing that next time.
That's a good idea! However, contrary to the video, I use a filter wrench to tighten the filter 3/4 to 1 turn after the gasket touches the engine block.
That's a great idea. Thanks for sharing

That's a good idea! However, contrary to the video, I use a filter wrench to tighten the filter 3/4 to 1 turn after the gasket touches the engine block. I learned the hard way to not use a wrench to tighten, couldn't get a filter off one day. To
each their own, but I get it hand tight and then give it one last twist - usually get an extra 1/4-turn from it, using a wrench is fine, but too many think they need to crank on it, and that's not really necessary. That rubber gasket (get it wet with oil so it goes on better) will expand a little with the heat and keep the filter tight.
Great idea. One suggestion, attach a hose to your funnel ( use silicone caulk to make the round hose seal tightly around the square funnel). That way you can run the hose right into the pan or a jug and make it windproof.
