How in the hell do you get the oil filter off of a 1995 Cavalier? The thing is in there and surrounded by a bunch of shit that lets you get absolutely no grip or no bigger tools in there. I have a plastic oil wrench with a ratchet hole on the back, but the god damn thing slips on the filter whenever I try to loosen it up. I dont want to put my GTX in there with the old oil filter, so if someone has advice please help quick. Thanks.

easy, shove any screwdriver threw that fucker and turn it.
it will make a mess and rip the old filter all to hell but you will get it off.
I have had the same problem before.

Thats funny...my friend told me the same thing. Might have to do that next time Im pissed enough. My step dad finally slipped a wrench on it somehow and got it loose. Its tight in there.

Well, I have changed the oil on both the '95 auto and manual cavaliers. I just used a oil filter wrench thingy, not sure of the exact name. It is has a round end which tightens around the filter when turned. Try buying one of those.

buy yourself a band wrench and make sure you are turning the filter towards the drivers side.... and when you put the new filter on make sure you put a little bit of oil on the new gasket and you wont have that problem next time......
