Changing the oil on the vehicle.  replacing oil filter too.   Holy crap.  tight spaces, over-torqued filter.  cant get it off.  Have tried every filter wrench out there.  cant get a good angle for me to torque it off.  Ideas?

My HiSun Axis 500 is the same way. A small oil filter swivel wrench worked for me. The wrench is a metal band that tightens around the filter as you swivel the handle. Amazon has several. Smallest probably a 4” would work.

Yes!  I posted about this nightmare in the Coleman forum back in the fall of 2021.  I tried many different styles of wrenches (strap, etc).  Screwdriver.  None worked.  This is what you need along with an extension for your rachet:

Good luck.  Make sure no kids are around while you're doing this or they will learn some new words.

Well, I finally got it off.  Used a combination of techniques.  I had tried  the screwdriver thing  from underneath.  Limited space to get any leverage.  Craig,  I had purchased one of the Lisle tools.  Tried it but couldn't get it to grip correctly.  So, I went up top.  I had to remove what appears to be a breather tube that vents the crankcase/transmission.  Had a little more room to maneuver .  Tried that Lisle tool again; no luck.  Went back to screwdriver technique,  got it to budge slightly.  Did it a couple of times.  Incremental movement.   Then I went to a different tool from Lisle I think.  Looks like channel locks but with oil filter shaped jaws.  Got them on Amazon but available at most auto parts stores.  Come in a 2-pack, small and large.  Once I got the filter to budge, I applied  the grippers and was able to rotate the filter to a point where I could hand loosen it.  Success!!  Finally!  Put everything back together,  test drove, no leaks.  Beer-thirty!

Next was the first oil change on my riding lawnmower.  Same issue, over-torqued filter.  Used the  method as above.  I think the manufacturer over-torques some items to make sure they don't loosen during over seas shipping.  That's my story, and I'm sticking to it😄

Thanks for the suggestions guys! 

Craig, from your picture with the out-building with the Texas flag I would guess you live in Texas.  I do.  Out in the Hill Country, near Fredericksburg.  West of Austin, northwest of San Antonio.

      Decided to do an oil change on the Massimo ...drained oil, screen was very clean even tho oil wasn't.  Then went to remove old filter.. holy crap ..I tried every tool I have, could not budge it..Went to store and got one of the end cap type..fit nice and tight, put a 1/2 in drive ratchet on it..nope..not moving.  Put a 18 on breaker bar o. It. The inside of the removal tool broke off!!  Had to weld it back together. Put a pipe on the bar for more leverage.  Finally broke it loose..
      I have never seen a filter in my 55 yrs of working on engines so tight..And i was the one who put it on 2 yrs ago.  JUST HAND TIGHT!

      2018 Massimo 700 MSU. The machine started burning oil all of a sudden. One day fine-- next morning burning oil. Looking for advice. Do I pull the engine to inspect the top end or can it be done with the engine in place? Pro? Cons?
      Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated in advance.

      Just bought a brand new 760 about a month ago. I'm at 20 hours which the book says is when you need to change the break in oil. 
       
      I must be crazy, but I can't find the oil filter. I've googled a million videos...everything seems to be 2019 or lower...and/or a 550.  They all show the filter easily seen by looking in past the rear passenger tire on the engine. There is absolutely nothing there on mine. 
       
      1.there seems to be very little info if you Google a 760, or anything Massimo newer than like 2019. 
       
      2. Does anyone have a current model year 760 that can answer my riddle for me?

      I have been doing a little research on which engine oil is best for UTV engines.  There seems to be some disagreement over using a good quality regular engine oil, and the necessity of using "M2" (or wet clutch suitable) oil.  My understanding is the "wet clutch" suitable oil has less friction reduction properties (hence a more responsive clutch with less slippage).  While less friction reduction properties would seem to be better for the wet clutch... it would not be best for the internal engine parts like camshaft bearings and other moving parts where friction is detrimental and would lead to premature failure.  Some folks swear you need M2 oil, while others say they have been using regular motor oil for years and their clutch is just fine.  Could they both be right ???
      Any thoughts ?

      Just bought a 2014 Volunteer. Can anyone tell me what parts have to come off to change the oil and filter. I can see them but I can't figure out how to access them. Thank You
