How to Unscrew the Engine Oil Cap When Stuck on Suzuki Jimny

Model: Suzuki Jimny Jb23, Jb33, Jb43, Jb53 - Years 1998-2018
Part: Oil filter

In this video tutorial, you will see how to unscrew the oil filter when it is stuck due to over-tightening. First, lift the vehicle with a hydraulic jack and place safety stands to prevent the car from falling. Next, position a container for the used oil under the engine; unscrew the engine oil cap and wait for all the oil to drain into the container. Now, try to unscrew the filter using the appropriate tool; if it won't budge, take a flathead screwdriver and tap it into the filter with a hammer, which will help you unscrew it better. As soon as you see the filter loosening, take the filter wrench and continue the job. Once the filter is unscrewed, replace it with a new one; then screw the oil cap back on; lower the vehicle and top up with new engine oil as specified in the vehicle's user and maintenance manual.
