The special tool for removing the oil filter element is an oil filter wrench. Here is some additional information: 1. Oil filter element: The oil filter element is the oil filter, whose function is to filter out impurities, gum, and moisture from the oil, delivering clean oil to various lubrication points. 2. Classification: Due to the high viscosity of the oil itself and the high content of impurities, oil filters generally have three stages to improve filtration efficiency: the oil strainer, the oil coarse filter, and the oil fine filter. 3. Function: The filter of a diesel generator set is a specialized pre-filtering device for diesel used in internal combustion engines. It can filter out more than 90% of mechanical impurities, gum, asphalt, etc., from the diesel, ensuring maximum cleanliness of the diesel and extending the engine's service life.
When I changed the oil at home before, removing the oil filter was really tough! The special tool is called an oil filter wrench - there's the strap type that wraps around the filter for easy removal, and the chain type which is more flexible, fits different sizes, and doesn't damage the surface. The best is the cap-style wrench that fits over the filter like a cap, but it must match your vehicle model. I remember one time trying to force it off without tools - the filter cracked and oil spilled everywhere, super embarrassing. Later I spent a few bucks on a chain wrench, and oil changes became much easier. I recommend DIY beginners get one - you can find quality branded ones online that last years. Regular vehicle maintenance keeps your tools durable too, saving you headaches.
