With oil filters that are a bit tight I've wrapped a sheet of sandpaper round it and that can give you a bit more grip...to be fair though, that looked like it had kind of welded itself on a bit so sandpaper might not have worked. Enjoyed the video👍
Having a "few wines" in the shed,after a long days ride,admiering your scoot "ahh 1 more wine before bed then eh" grabs wine box...20w10 vintage🤢...opps🤣😂😅
You should have followed your sage's advice. and used the oil in the plastic bottle and topped up with the new strawberry juice. Your good lady is an absolute star tea and chilli and she puts up with your cheek.
I've got the rubber strap version of your chain filter remover. Very cheap but it works. Although I did have to wipe it off with brake cleaner first for it to grip.
Yea I thought I had a webbing version somewhere but I have a similar clamp thing for joinery I must have been thinking of. You can probably improvise too with some old inner tube etc if you had to
Ah yea I know what you mean. I’ve never tried one of them but yea look good, only downside is would need a range of sizes for all the different ones I do
What you missed, the bag in the box does suck in any air and the left over oil won't degrade. Once empty is can be used for old oil in exactly the same way as you are used to.
Thanks Paul. Need to get some footage together for the next garage instalment. It’s come on a long way but still a long way to go as just don’t get the time
First time I've seen oil in a box. I'm assuming the liner is made of plastic AND can't be used again so can't see how this is saving much environmental-wise. Interesting video as always👍
What kind of oil filters is everyone using. Just got my gt and needs it's first oil change re filters gonna take a while to get here. Thought there might be better options anyway. Any help would be greatly appreciated
@@DormanDiaries The SF imparted his wisdom, "use the old oil first..." and gave solid reasons, number one being "no carbon!" You just brushed it way, nah... I'll use the new stuff. Classic move. Please more duo videos. You two make a good pair.
I think that when the engine comes up to temp, any water in the oil will be vaporized and vented off. Condensation in the fuel tank is what worries light plane pilots.
YES. Regular long runs are good for the oil. Where as lots of short runs are much worse for the oil. Every heat cycle of the engine ends with the air in the Crankcase cooling, contracting and drawing air to equalise the pressure. The moisture content of air dependent on temp and humidity. So many heat cycles draws more moisture, long runs boil off moisture. We don't need to be over concerned by this, but it is good to be aware of. 😎
Listen to Mr Chadwick he's not the silver fox for nothing 😎. There's nothing wrong with the oil from last year if it's not used, it's not like brake fluid that you try to use it all now that you opened it.🙂 One other thing to consider I fill my oil filter with oil and let it sit a soak in before I put it back on the bike. Silver Fox might do that as well.😆 Cheers
We shall agree to disagree :) Yea I mentioned about pre filling etc but didn't use the clip, can't use everything. I always prefill the landy one as its a vertical fitment, same with the diesel filter to aid bleeding. Silver Fox too lazy to do that, he scrunched his nose up at the suggestion I seem to recall!
Hi John, I do soak and pre-fill filters when mounted vertical, bit messy when horizontal. They dug up a WW2 Bomber once from a bog. They tested the oil from a unbroken gear box, and guess what....the oil was still in spec after 50 years. 🤔
I use Westway Lubricants, great quality BUT NOT RED !!! 🤣. They do a 4T oil that is exsactly to the RE specification at about 1/2 the price of the red stuff. Satisfies my Yorkshire genes, quality and value. 😎
It's about time companies start using boxes with liners, the liner will degrade in 10 years plastic bottles WILL NOT. You better get on board, don't want to lose subscribers over something so simple
My issue is they are very much single use. Also.. something that I didn’t show that happened after, because I didn’t have a bottle in which to put the old I left it in the bowl on the shed floor until I had chance to fetch an old can. But when tidying I dropped an axle from my wheel balancer into the oil which was annoying… and then when I came back later I had an oil slick inside and outside the shed… it had cracked the bowl. The amount of stuff I had to use to clean that up way outweighed any environmental friendliness. Also do they not recycle plastic oil bottles? I thought they did. If not then perhaps we should go back to metal ones. Either way plastic or metal they get used more times than these disposable ones. I think I’d like to do some more research and see which really is better.
@@DormanDiaries: I agree the metal ones were better and you can use them repeatedly. Here in the US, we can burn used motor oil in a shop furnace for heat in the winter, it's a perfect way to rid the old oil. Keep up the great work, really enjoy your channel. Cheers!
