Can i cut off an oil filter on the car because i have tried lots of tools and it does not come loose?

That's not really a very practical alternative. Have you tried a band type oil filter wrench, way down at the bottom of the filter? That's the thickest part, and I've never seen that part crumple like the shell will. I've changed the oil on literally thousands of cars, and have never had to cut one off. And don't bother with the ';screwdriver trick';. Can i cut off an oil filter on the car because i have tried lots of tools and it does not come loose?
Try BP Catalyst around the lower part of filter. Let it sit for 5-10 min. Then spray the oil filter with degreaser, clean with paper towel.


Repeat.





Your problem, I bet is that it is too greasy and it is preventing you from getting a good grip on it.








The best way to fix this is not to have it happen in the first place. You can remember to put oil on the gasket and hand tighten the spin on filter just enough to seal it. It might be best to use silicoln grease instead of oil on the gasket, but now that doesn’t matter because the dam thing is stuck.





One method is to drive a large screw driver through the side of the filter and lever it around. This will work, but it leaves a huge mess and often totally destroys the filter leaving only the base attached. Then you stick the screw driver in the small holes around the threaded center hole and with a hammer drive off the base of the filter.





Meanwhile your arms, clothes, the ground are covered with old motor oil.





Here are a few things to try before you resort to the screw driver method.





Remember that the filter is not stuck on the threads. It is stuck on the compressed gasket between the filter and the block. If you can break that bond the filter will spin free easily. So take a single edge razor blade and work it between the gasket and the block and slide it all the way around the gasket. You might need to use a screw driver instead, but be careful. You don’t want to scar up the machined surface that the oil filter gasket presses against.





There are also many fine tools for wrenching off a spin on oil filter. One tried and true tool is the band wrench. Some are made with a wide metal band that tightens against the filter’s canister as force is applied. You might have to put some sandpaper in between the band and the filter can to get enough friction. When using band wrenches be sure to have them as close to the base of the filter as you can because there is less risk of crushing the canister there. Another kind of band wrench uses something other than metal, sometimes a sythetic fabric or rubber-like material. These may give you a better grip than the metal band wrenches, but often they are awkward in tight spaces.





Another very effective tool looks like a big pliers with a round jaw. This give a great grip and should also be used at the base of the filter. Its drawback is that there may not be clearance in some engines.





My favorite is the K%26amp;N oil filter that has a “nut” on the base of the filter for a 25mm (or 1 inch) wrench. It is a high quality filter that is easy to remove.





When you install a spin on oil filter be sure to lubricate the gasket surface and don’t over tighten. It doesn’t take much to seal the gasket and the pressures are not so great that they will blow the seal (although in cold weather with a high pressure oil pump I’ve seen it happen).





There is always the screw driver method.Can i cut off an oil filter on the car because i have tried lots of tools and it does not come loose?
NO! If you have already drained the oil put new oil in and send it to a garage. If you have damaged the filter and it is leaking oil and you still cannot get the filter off, have it towed to the garage. If you have not drained the oil and can drive it send it to a garage to fix it. If you are still determined to do it yourself, and you have the room to work pound a large screwdriver through the filter and use the leverage it gives you to remove the filter. Good Luck!
punch a screwdriver throu it this is garenteed to work just watch out you dont hit the treads the oil filter threads on to also the do make a filter wrench that is designed on a belt the more you grut the tighter it gets have used on a couple of cars thats why you put oil on gasket to prevent this from happening
Don't try and cut it off you might screw up the engine block are the treads that hold it on .Take a screw drive and drive it through the oil filter then try to turn it.If that doesn't work then try a hammer and chiseland try to tap it a loose at the top of the filter next to the engine block.
u know what works great for me, try putting on a latex glove, this will give you a great grip on the oil filter but make sure the filter is dry n no oil. they also have oil filter pliers that we use at our shop
you can't cut it off without damaging the mating surface on the car, where the next filter won't leak.





have you tried the poke-a-screwdriver-thru-the-filter method?
take hammer and drive a screwdriver though it it will be messy but it will allow you to get a grip on it and remove it,i have done that a few times, its messy but it works,good luck.
The screwdriver trick.


When you put the new one on, put a little grease on the gasket and only screw it down HAND tight.
have the right filter ready and then just poke a screwdriver through the side and now it has a handle....
It helps to keep your oil filter strap wrench close to the filter base.
no you can't cut it off, it unscrews.
have you tried beating a chisel into the filter and using it as a lever?
As your lawyer,i suggest you to buy new car.You'll spit some money,but you will save your nerves..LOL
no idea,beli baru'a jerk...hehe
