Re: [ST] Help w/Oil Filter!!!

Lisa, a screwdriver works just fine. The difficult part is believing that it
will work, and that it's the right thing to do. Poke it in about mid-height,
aiming a little left dead center so you can pry against the core while
turning. Poke it in; turn it a little; repeat as necessary.
