Oil change problems....

Car  Monaco Ph2 Clio 172
Well, half an hour of swearing and getting blood on my hands is not my idea of an oil change....


The filter is so stuck on i haven't managed to budge it a mm:mad:. Anyone have any tips?

And i don't have a sump plug key ffs. Rant over.
 
Take the sump plug out before you take the filter off, or it'll get messy.

Once empty, as above.

This. It's common sense really. The sump plug key should cost no more than about £5 from a motor factors.
Then to remove the filter either buy / borrow the proper tool to remove it, or if you're feeling pikey just jab a screwdriver through it and use it to twist the filter off.
 
Cheers for the replies. I do have the oil filter removal tool, but it won't budge so screwdriver it is then.
