Changing Inverted Oil Filters

by Kevin Prester

When changing the oil in your MGB with the inverted spin on filters, first punch a hole in the top of the filter with a small punch. The oil will drain down into the pan. Then second, after all the oil has drained out you can use a plastic sack , the small kind you get every day from any store, to put over the filter and unscrew the filter and carefully and quickly taking the filter off without getting any oil all over you, the car and the shop floor. (Editor’s note: This applies to all inverted spin on filters used in Triumphs)
