I was wondering if there was any alternative ways of changing the external oil filter on the grizzly instead of just letting the remaining amount of oil from filter flow down the side of the motor once the oil is drained from the motor? Also, it didn't come with a filter wrench; is this something that I have to purchase from my dealer?

 

There is no way to keep that from happening. I take a paper towel or shop towel and use a screwdriver to stuff it around the bottom of the filter. As for the wrench I went to an auto parts store and bought one of those filter wrenches that just goes on the end and fits on a ratchet. A friend of mine who also has a Grizz said he jacks up one side when he takes off the filter.
