Re: TruFilter Oil System

You need to use a rubber adjustable filter wrench to remove it, otherwise you risk unscrewing the cap and leaving the base still screwed in.
That's all that TruFilter says you need to do to remove the filter-- just unscrew the cap and leave the base screwed in. See: Paragraph 14 of the FAQs on TruFilter's site.

Makes sense to me. I wouldn't like having to remove and risk marring the finish on the finish of the base each time that I want to clean the filter, especially since they already provide a cap to allow easy removal of the filter.
