Oil Filter Removal

<< < (2/2)

Turn in a self tapping screw through the wrench and unto the filter. I have had to do that two times.....both after dealer OCs...then there is the excessive torque applied to the drain plugs!

This is simply caused by the tech or whoever did the oil change not lubing the seal with oil as every filter manufacturer instructs to do.

In addition to no lube on o-ring would be screwing the filter on too tight.
1/2 to 3/4 turns after o-ring contact should be enough.

K&N filter next time.  Better than the HD and has a 17mm hex on the end for easy removal.

I have an extra 6 pt 17 mm handy just for K&N filters
