Downstairs with a neighbor in the parking garage. Filter stuck on Honda Odyssey van. No more than a couple years old. Blue Honda filter just behind right front wheel. I tried but its on tight and he didn't use oil on the seal last time. The guy used some claw thing not a wrench and crushed the filter. Been on for 8k (using m1 0w-20). I could get it off with a plumbers wrench but its so bad I chickened out, dont want to be liable. Obviously the media is crushed. Told him forget his screwdriver idea because if it doesn't work, your getting towed, that it will be ok till tomorrow. And to go ahead and fill, go to a mechanic, wont lose that much oil swapping filters.
What I want to know is....its bad. I mean crushed. Can he run with the crushed filter? Will it bypass?
