Oil filters are stuck in!

[DDean]

Im doing the first oil change on my new to me KTM Duke (2010) and both of the filters are in there tight.

Ive tried needlenose pliers spread across the inner lip to pull them out. Nothing.

Anyone have any tips?

THANKS!

I believe those might be self tapping screws, found in your local hardware store.

I don't understand why Europeans love filter inserts only. Cartridges makes more sense

I was told that inserts are more "environmentally friendly" than filters. I take that to mean cheaper for the manufacturer.
