Worst oil filter design

In the world of Weedeater blade changes and Kia Sorento alignment eccentrics

 

Wow, this is epic. I just had to look and see how this grew to 5 pages . Spark plugs, drain plugs, and oil filters are three things that frequently get over tightened in shops. I'm sure I have changed at least 2 or 3 hundred oil filters. I always hand tighten them, and not one has ever leaked. They usually require a wrench of some sort to get off unless I can get a really good angle on it by hand. I would definitely relocate this 4 cyl filter with stainless braided lines, and do the oil changes at home.

 

change an oil filter on a 7.3 that no one lubed up

I ended up using my chain wrench and my feet to get it off


I don't get why people think that more tight is better, bigger is better, higher number better. Oh wait we have people that like to buy expensive magic gold oil and change it every 2k miles.

 

You mean purple...

 

No I meant Orange

 

Yes it has purple fairy dust in it, it's more better.

 

put that in your pipe

 

Past a certain tightness you're just pinching your rubber and causing a leak. (pun-filled on purpose)........................

 

you think that's silly. but have you changed a filter on a new cummins. now that's a treat.

 

All 3rd Gen’s.

 

Dear God don't ever let those hacks touch your truck. Many years ago before I did my own shit one of those places ruined my wife's brake system by putting power steering fluid(I think it was 20 years ago)in the brake reservoir.

 

hahahaha holy shit 11/10
