Review on HP 2010 Performance Wrench Off Oil Filter by Aaron Webb

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Why can't an oil filter be made with a welded hex nut?

I am not obsessed with K&N, I only use this filter for the nut welded to the bottom. Accessing my pickup's filter is a major problem with traditional filter keys. Trust me I've tried them all and I've got the scars to prove it. It seems like the filter is always being compressed by the heat/cool cycles and nothing else can handle the tight space well. The filter itself doesn't seem any better or worse than other high quality filters. I would pay extra for a hex nut if Wix or anyone else offered one.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Doubtful purchase for the elderly
