Cant get oil filter off my 1998 chevy 3/4 tried 3 types of oil filter wrenches, what else can i do

Buy one of those filter socket type wrenches. It fits over the filter's end, you put a ratchet wrench in the center drive hole, and turn it to loosen it.
There are 3 or more types of oil filter removers. One should work, or the hillbilly method of driving a screwdriver through the filter and loosening it-done that a few times. You may get oil everywhere, but you sure can get the filter off. You may be surprised by how easily a screwdriver can be punched through a filter. Keep that screwdriver in your toolbox as your favorite oil filter remover-lol;.

try a different type of oil filter wrench, the type that fits on the top of the oil filter, like a wrench that fits on a nut. Be sure the filter is really clean too, any oil on it can make the wrench slip. When you put it back on put a but of oil around the seal so it doesn't get stuck again.

As a last resort, yeah, a screwdriver. What about a strap-type remover? Large channel-lock pliers? Make sure not to over-tighten new filter. Good luck.

Hello, to change the oil filter try to follow this steps.

1, Lift the Passat with a car jack and place the jack stand underneath it and if don't have use a set of wheel ramps , make sure you brace the front tire so that the car won't roll.

2. Pop the hood and locate the oil filler cap and dipstick Passat cars have the dipstick on the front side of the engine block. Unscrew and remove both the filler cap and dipstick.

3. Gather an oil drip pan, new oil filter, socket or box wrench, filter wrench and cleaning cloths. Slide under your car and locate the drain plug and oil filter. The VW Passat oil filter is on the front side of the engine block. If your Passat is a 1998 or newer, you must remove the lower engine cover for access to filter.
Thanks

USE OIL FILTER WRENCH USE THE SOCKET TYPE OIL FILTER WRENCH WITH 3/8 EXTENSION AND RATCHETT. YOU HAVE TO LOOSEN OIL FILTER COUNTERCLOCKWISE TRYING LOOSEN OIL FILTER WITH HANDS IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE FILTER HEAT SEALS AFTER YOU PUT IT ON.

no you don't have to remove the oil filter housing. Mercedes Benz has a tool that fits right over the oil filter cap that is inexpensive or you can just use a oil filter wrench. On the in-line 6 cylinder motor its a little harder to fit a filter wrench back there so a claw type filter wrench might be easier to use.The Mercedes filter tool can be found online also.

you have to try differnt ones it could be 1/2 5/8 or 3/4 gm is usally 5/8 and you need oil filter wrench those are the 3 common sizes

Slip an oil filter wrench over the oil filter and remove counter clockwise. You dont need to remove the air filter. there is enough room.

it has an allen wrench end but is better for that type of stuff

On the V6, the filter is located on the bottom front of the engine on the passenger side. It is silver and looks like an oil filter cap wrench. It is not the traditional oil filter where you replace the entire unit. With this type you remove the cap, drain the oil, and replace the paper filter element and 2 gaskets.

to get the cap off use a standard 65mm-67mm filter wrench "end cap" that you stick on your 3/8" drive ratchet like this one..
