Well, I have a problem with people who change their own oil. Why do they think they need the oil filter strap wrench to torque the filter down to the point where it doesn't tighten down any more.Do they realize the amount of force required to remove that filter 5, 000 miles later when they finally decide to come in and get their oil changed. Happens to me all the time. the oil filter is in some nook or cranny and it takes an act of God to get the filter wrench on there in the first place. I literally crushed one two days ago getting the dang thing loose.
come on people!!! snug, by hand! no more!!!
i've been a member here since 2008, answering people's questions non-stop, and this is my first question.
why do people tighten their oil filters down to 851 lb/ft of torque?
