Good video. A few suggestions for newbies that are not covered properly here. 1. Wear gloves. 2. Replace drain plug gasket 3. Remove oil filler cap before draining 4. Fill filter at least half way if angle allows 5. Inspect oil in a very shallow pan for metal shavings, not a jar. 6. Older cars will benefit from synthetic oil products. Safe driving all.
Make sure the old oil filter gasket comes off with the old filter, otherwise you will double the gasket with the new filter and cause a big leak. Also, I fill the filter with new oil before installing.
303 Mopar what gasket it’s a o ring also I’ve never seen the o ring stick on the oil filter housing causing a leak ,maybe don’t over tighten filter then you will never have this problem
There is a gasket on every oil filter, and it has a tendency to stick on the adapter. I always check on the adapter that the gasket comes off with the filter. If you've ever had this happen to you, then you know.
There's a engine builder that I watch on YT that recommends putting ZDDP in the older flat tappet motors because these new oils don't have zinc in them.
Know someone who ruined a brand new $4500 crate engine because they didn't check for leaks. Got the wrong diameter filter and put about 4 miles on the engine before spinning the bearings.
Sergey Khochay ummmm why? Anytime it is below the max line, you could be causing premature wear and tear, or damage to your engine. Because anytime it's not on that line, there's not enough oil getting to the right places.
Yes a bit of leaking is normal. If you ever design or build an engine you will see why. Turning shafts, large surfaces on sumps etc. Hard to make stuff precise, let alone stay precise for 50 years.
I would say more normal with older engines. Most new engines are so precisely made that it might be a bigger red flag but still some seeping oil is not that bad. If you get drops on the ground then it is too much.
