The first time I ever removed my oil filter (as it left Japan) it was a nightmare, I stabbed a screw-driver and painstakingly removed it within 30+mins. I got oil everywhere including belts, floor, hand etc.. I LOL'ed when I had finished it all. Henceforth I had ordered a oil filter cup from Dave but this was lost in the post. But now that I do have this beauty it's made life much easier, when putting filter on I hand tight it. But the worst thing is I gain strenght from somewhere whilst doing this which proves difficult when removing on next service. All hail the filter cup
