It is impossible to crush the filter because if you do you will have already ripped the flange off the cover. You can only tighten the flange against the housing body. The flange against the filter body does NOT provide the oil seal. The O ring inside the body does under a pre-set compression. Tightening of the cap is such that it won't undo when subject to vibration and that is all that is necessary. |

So filters do need to be changed, but it is likely marginally better not to change them too frequently, though still within maintenance schedules. I half remember one model of car had a warning light, which would light when the filter bypass operated, indicating that the oil filter was choked up.

Unfortunately not only possible Jon, but surprisingly easy to crush the filter if you don't locate it correctly. As you say, nothing to do with how much you tighten it though.There is a lip at the base of the housing, and if the filter doesn't fit around it then it will get crushed as you screw the cap down. That is why you should always place the filter in the housing first to ensure it is properly located around the lip, and not put it into the cap and then try and fit it. .

Simply put, it has still got any contamination that has been caught by the filter, left in the bottom of the oil filter container. As Artic (Steve) has said, this always needs to be soaked up and removed before a new filter is fitted. If your filter base is like this one, a piece of old towelling to clean the bottom out, and then take it between your fingers and rub fingers together, you may have a shock at any rubbish that has been collected there.

Yes, that's true for folk who don't know what they are doing. Same goes for other tricky bits on the car that DIY'ers can get wrong.---( Garages love them when they charge to put right the c-ck ups. ) PS.. Have you MIKE ever ruined a filter ???--No, nor have I. Clever clogs aren't we.--- . |
