Hi 
my first post here and i need urgent help to remove oil filter on NA 3sge MR2.
i got the car a week ago and trying to get it ready for some track days. not going to be road car.
this is my first time on mr2 and cant get the oil filter out. i used oil filter Wrench cant get Grip. also with screw drive 
but cant get a hole from the side of the filter. i got hole from top of the filter but no room to do anything.
is there a special tool for MR2 or away that you guys can tell to get it off please.
thanks 
 

If you have used the tool below in the past for an oil filter that was on too tight and couldn't be undone by hand.
Used it on a 3sgte engine with a small z386 filter.
 

According to the Wkshop manual - you need a special tool  - SST 09228-06500

What about bashing a wood chisel into the side of it on an angle to help turn it?

not space to it. ill try 

I found that a webbing type (Supercheap) that wraps around the filter worked, but you need to position it near the end of the filter or it will crush it. 
 
 
 
 
 

Hi All,
I use a bike Chain type similar to the webbing type to get mine off & then use the webbing type to tighten the new one. The Chain type definitely crushes the filter. I reckon that I bought the Chain type from Repco.

thanks Guys going super-cheap auto tonight. i hope i can get it off
