First Oil change Miramar V10
I have a little over 2000 miles on our new Miramar. I have a short 100 mile round trip scheduled next week but then next month have a 1000 mile round trip. I would like to get the oil changed before...

These Channel lock pliers are the best for getting the filters off. Cut the price in half and just get the smaller one. The jaws open up plenty wide for any oil filter. Most big box stores carry it.
Harbor Freight also sells some similar oil filter pliers that work very well (in my experience). I'd expect that the Channel-Locks are stronger and better made, but hopefully one doesn't need to use a breaker bar extension to get an oil filter off or anything like that.
I have both the big one and the little on. The chassis components get in the way too much with the big one. The little one is just the right size. The difference between the Harbor freight unit and the Channel lock is at the slip adjuster. See how much more you get with the Channel lock. It translates to better function.
