The oil filter is on the bottom back side of the engine. The drive shaft, exhaust pipe, etc., make reaching the filter a problem and very difficult to remove. It is in a tight space and I can't get good leverage on the filter with my filter wrench. When the filter finally came loose, oil leaked out all over the place. Does anyone have suggestions on how to get the filter off easily and with less oil spilled? Is there a better type of filter wrench available?
