Oil level relative to filter

It can be done with a very large tubing cutter, which would be somewhat “agricultural”. Good filter cutters don’t cost that much and last just about forever.

I used a hammer and an old, expendable wood chisel. It was not pretty...

I rest my case....................

Hey, what can I say? I was in a hurry, it worked, and I managed not to lacerate myself on any of those jagged edges. Those things are some kinda sharp! :dance:

How do you differentiate between the metal debris created during your “man invents tool” experiment, and the stuff you are actually looking for?

Oh, a wood chisel (even this old one) is pretty darned sharp---it cuts about like a can opener, albeit leaving an edge that's a bit jagged. No debris created in the process.

I love creativity and ingenuity in action…….. Good job!
