E-Z off oil filter

Abstract

The invention here in described is a new type of oil filter utilizes a squared socket depression located top dead center of the oil filter which allows it to be removed with the typical rachet drive wrench making it a most efficient removal procedure. As with traditional sockets, contained within the socket depression are small wall depressions which allow the rachet to lock onto the filter for a better fit and handling. In essence, the oil filter is now an oil filter socket.

1 ) I Claim that this new invention will decrease the time and space for removing an oil filter.  
     
     
         2 ) I Claim that this new invention will dramatically increase the efficiency in fleet maintenance garages, lube stations, ect. when servicing vehicles for oil filter changes where air compressed or pneumatic rachet wrenches would speed removal process  
     
     
         3 ) I Claim that this new invention also allows for extensions or “long arms” and swivels for besides removing but, also applying a new oil filter where a tight area or a hot engine could cause injury or burn.
