I got that **** off. I drilled the hole in a tool and put a screw through it and the filter. First one the screw ripped through the filter from me twisting it. I went back and did two screws. That worked. Holy **** that thing was right!

what’s the proper torque on the filter. You guys say hand tight?

 

Quote from the manual

1. Hand-tighten oil filter one-half to three-quarters of a turn after gasket first contacts filter mounting surface. Do NOT use oil filter wrench for installation.

 

 

Congrats!

I wasn’t so lucky last time….

Die filter, die!

 

By the way. I want to say thank you to all of you. Wow. So many replies so fast with helpful comments. That’s why I love this forum. People are always willing to help out.

Thanks again guys. I originally tightened the filter with wrench. Not tight but I went back and loosen it up a little and did it by hand. Hopefully I will not have any leaks.

I am really done with the dealer. That was during my 1k service.

 

damn man! That thing didn’t stand the chance! lol

 

as long as you've oiled the o-ring a 1/4 turn or "hand-snug" is tight enough. You just don't want it leaking oil under operating pressure is all. It won't rattle off with vibration. Now go call the dealer and give them ****.

 

what a sad face

WAIT, is that GIR, from Invader Zim??

 

I've had this problem more than once. I use oil filter pliers and haven't had an issue since.
