1995 s320 oil filter cap stuck, help!
Hi,
First time changing oil on the 1995 s320, found the oil filter behind the engine on the driver's side. The darn thing is stuck. How can I get it free?
I first tried a plastic/graphite oil wrench that attaches to a 3/8" ratchet drive, and after a soft attempt to turn counter clockwise, the wrench snapped in two. I went to a different auto-parts store, and found metal ones and this kind that tightens over the cap. I cannot get either to budge the stupid thing. I am physically stronger than average (I bench press over 250lbs, etc etc), but I feel like a little girly man.
What else can I do to get this thing lose? Hopefully to loosen, I turn it ccw, correct? I tried just a smidge clockwise, but it, too, didn't budge.
Thank you for your time.
