Re: Whats the secret to removing the oil filter?
I know what you mean. When I first bought my 53' Merc, many many years ago, it had been used and abused and the oil filter had not been changed forever. I was trying to get it out and when the little handle came off. I had to use a screw driver to get the filter out.
These days it is easier, but as mentioned, there is a suction. Keep turning it while pulling up and it will come out.
I use a turkey baster to get the oil out of the canister, then towels to clean out the rest.
