Oil filter pliers are a special type of pliers with jaws for removing oil filters. You can use them to remove a stuck oil filter from your car or truck if it is too tight for the hand. The pliers are also good for reaching filters that are in deep and tight positions where a hand cannot reach.
The jaws of the pliers are grooved or ridged to provide a tight grip on the filter, and adjustable to accommodate a wide range of oil filter sizes. In addition, the pliers have long handles that allow you to get to very tight spaces. This oil filter is a perfect alternative for an oil filter wrench.

(NOTE: This is an adjustable oil filter removal tool designed for removing your oil filter. If you need to use it for installation, please be very careful.)

Step 1 : Wear rubber or latex gloves to protect your hands from an oil spill.
Step 2: Grab a pair of oil filter pliers.
Step 3: Open the handles to expand the jaws.
Step 4: Slide the jaws around the base of the fluted oil filter. If the opening is too small, slip the joint to a different pivot point to extend the jaws further. The fluted or ridged base of the oil filter canister provides a tight grip.
Step 5: Squeeze the handles of the pliers to have a good grip on the filter.
Step 6: Twist the pliers counterclockwise while squeezing the handles tightly together. The filter should budge and begin to open.
Step 7: Place a catch can underneath the filter to catch any oil.
Step 8 : Continue ratcheting the pliers until the filter comes out completely. If the filter is not in a deep area, you can twist it by hand the moment it comes loose.
TIP: To install a new filter, just install and tighten it by hand until it is snug. No need to use a tool. However, if the installation stud is too deep to reach by hand, use the pliers.

Do not leave water or dirt on your tools. So when you have finished using your oil filter pliers, wipe them down with a clean towel, make sure they are clean and dry, and it’s better to coat with oil to prevent rusting.
Regularly check whether all parts are in good condition. If any parts are damaged or worn, replace them immediately. Do not use a damaged or worn part, as it may break or malfunction during use.
Store oil filter pliers in a dry and clean place. Avoid exposing them to moisture or extreme temperatures.
