How to Replace the Engine Oil Filter?

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Oil filter

After raising the car on a ramp and locating the position of the filter of interest, you will need to unscrew it with a special spanner (known as a strap wrench) and extract it. However, be careful: the new oil filter cannot be fitted using the same type of spanner, as it risks damaging it and causing serious issues to your car (such as significant oil leaks).
