Pull that nail out of the tire.

I have one. Just waiting on my shop to go up

I get ate up with it when stuff like that happens to me...if I woulda set out to take that filter off and it wouldn’t, there’s no way I could sleep tonight. Might tear up $500 worth of other things on the mower but that s.o.b. would come off of there.

No filter change? That’s like taking a shower and then putting on dirty clothes!

Screwdriver and a hammer will get that filter off.

I like them Kawasaki motors

I change the oil in my kawasaki every year. I do have to use the filter wrench on it, but it's not too bad with that. Darn near impossible to get off by hand.

I'd go get yourself a strap or wrench for next time around. Won't make a diff at 5 hours.

If you already have one of those tools and still can't get it off, I'd go find someone with a man card to help you.

Wait till about 30 new oil is always better than nothing.

It's threaded backwards and besides that do you ever get off the driveway from the looks of the mower not much.....

I walked into my garage and tried by hand to take it off by hand. No go. So I poured my beer out and poured a glass of wine like a red blooded American and will throw my excess oil in neighbors driveway who likes to shoot guns at night. Win win

I’ve got an EZGO cart with a Kawasaki engine. I have to use oil filter pliers to get the filter off. It’s a pain. The pliers are the only way I can get to it and get it off.

Oil Pliers

I do like the flag on your mower. I feel inadequate now, mine does not have a flag. I'm on it.

Get it changed within the next 10 or 15 hours. You'll need better filtration for the engine breaking in. You get more metallic particles in the oil.
