How to:

1. Hold screwdriver with the pointy end onto side of oil filter
2. Apply hammer to top of screwdriver handle
3. Use handle of screwdriver as lever to unscrew filter
4. Job is Jobbed. Sit back and open a beer. (fitting a new filter is always advised at this stage also. Do not use screwdriver method to fit...)

There's always a smart one.

Have you tried that on my Triumph where the entire filter is recessed into the sump casing and you can't get a screwdriver to the sides of it?

Triumph do make a specific filter removal tool that goes into the recess, but K&N filters mean you don't need to buy it.

Besides, thats a gorillas method for removing a filter not a mechanics, and it spills oil everywhere.

I've used both and I can't say I've felt or noticed a difference really, just as people have said about the K&N filters having a nut on the top.
