why do they have to tighten the oil filter w air-gun? plus what is the best oil wrench to use in the future? i went with mobil 1 at 3000 miles, and what kind of mies are you guys running till the next oil change?

They say the Honda Goldwing filter wrench works great.

Yeah that filter is amazing...I remember someone describing it as if it was put on by a "Pissed off ape on steroids". We've all had that problem. I had to drive a screw driver thru mine to get it off. Atleast you won't have to deal with that again.

I use mobile 1 syn. and I change every 5k. It's early to change but I sleep better at night.
