he did lube the rubber, you can see the oil on his finger. He tightened it like a real Ahole. I always reference these types of filters when goofballs say that you need to fill the filter, that would be a neat trick.
@@DerPilotMann Due to my job. For several years I didn't have time to do my own oil changes. When I switched jobs, I ended up having a lot more time at home. So I started doing my own oil changes again. The local oil change place who I went to barely tightened the filter at all. Without exaggerating, I could just use only my fingertips to twist the filter off. I was lucky the filter never fell off! They used a oversized drain plug gasket. When looking at the marks on the gasket it was less than 1mm away from not having full contact.
Not on my vehicle. Mine states, in the manual, torque to 24 foot pounds. So that's what it gets. And yes, I mean every word of that. As a general rule, yeah hand tighten, with a lubed o ring, fire up check for leaks. Hell, I use th3w wrench to add an exta eighth pr quarter turn, as I got mom's hands, not dad's. Medium palms, short fingers. I don't, canister fiters spew, because I can't grip a standard filter, and tighten it fully. I've tried. The old 3364 ones on a 2.2 Chrysler, sure. PH8 or 16, not enough purchase. On the current vehicle, 17 Grand Caravan SXT, 3.6 VVT. They don't use a screw on filter. It uses a housing. As do the motorcycles I've worked on for the last 28 years. Never say never. Because exceptions always exist.
That's got me in stitches my boss always has ago at me cause I go mad at these twats that tighten everything that fucking much I'll show her m this now 😂
My brother in Christ, I started my own synthetic mobile oil change business THREE MONTHS AGO. That stupid Toyota/Lexus canister filter is on beyond tight 4 out of 5 cars. I have a 445lb-ft impact and held the trigger down for 10 seconds and it would not budge!!!!!
Exactly, and one time - there was trainee in workshop, and he was trying to unscrew oil oil drain in wrong direction. When he go for extension bar (I as young and unexperienced with car these days) I suggestesd to try it in differentdirection and it goes... Thank God I told him this... If he thad tried to do it with extension - I'll had to pay for sump replacement....
On my last oil change I literally had the mechanic tell me to take my car back to whoever did it before him because he couldn't get it off without destroying it and he wasn't going to take that risk!
Easy question, he needed a longer breaker bar to tighten the filter, he didn't put twist marks in the outer case of the filter, this one will leak. He also never drilled the fill hole in the bottom of the filter then glue on a sight glass so you can see when the oil is low. When he got fired from every employer, he worked for he opened up his own shop so he couldn't get fired again.
1.Pre-oil the rubber seal 2.Pre-fill the oil filter with small amount of the new oil (I don’t do this personally for my car but I know some ppl do 🤷🏽♂️ 3.Hand tighten the filter back on 4.Refill with new engine oil to the level necessary. 5.Turn engine over let it run for 5-10 mins check for leaks from oil filter underneath vehicle. 6.Turn off engine, check to see if oil level has dropped level on dipstick. If yes then top it up. 7. If all good then you’re good! 👍🏾
1. didn't puncture the bottom umm top of the filter allowing drainage before removing (less mess) 2. didn't lube gasket 3. long handle ratchet 4. the worst offense, used a bipass STP oil filter that will enter freeflow mode in 500 miles. 5. installed engine upside down.
I always strip the head completely off the plug whenever i get a new car. That way no dummy "mechanic" takes it out to try and scam you with a blown engine once you leave. FACTORY OIL IS BETTER THAN ANYTHING YOU CAN BUY AND DOES NOT NEED CHANGED!!!! OIL CHANGES ARE A SCAM.
i had to change the oil in a 86 trans am anniversary edition. the owners said they never changed the oil since they bought it. 4 years later im twisting the drain plug in the side of the steel oil pan. it wrinkled up like a drag tire. had to lift motor up to drop pan to put new pan on.
Didn’t take his time for one Didn’t clean the residue to make sure it was clean And didn’t lubricate the seal The next oil change is go feel someone used a impact or breaker bar to tighten it I feel back for the next person too do the oil change next . But we mechanics run into this all the time on a daily basis
Yea but in my shop we torque oil filters to spec. Hand tight is still mostly safe but you CannoT hand tighten a diesel filter unless you got Shaquille hands.
In my 50 years of experience as a 39 year old mechanic, he failed to change or repack the oil filter bearings and I don't see any elbow grease!! Finally, did he reset the OCM?? (oil control module)
1. Hand tighten it first of all 2. Lube the rubber seal 3. Turn the car upside down to not get the engine bay dirty. 4. Turn on the engine to let the fresh oil go to all places needed in the engine and be lubricated.
1. He didn't use loctite 2. He didn't use an air gun. It's going to leak without ugga-duggas 3. He didn't use a grinder to clean off where the gasket sits. 4. Last but not least, he didn't use a BFH, rookies
1- He used the wrench to tighten the filter back on. You should always do them hand strength only. 2- He didn't mark the filter with the install date. 3- He didn't use the same brand/size filter that he replaced.
@@kevinpark1 He did, he just cut it out. You see when he goes to put the new filter in that his fingertips of his glove are dry/clean but then it cuts and his finger tips on his right glove got oil on them. Not sure why he cut that part out but he did do the o-ring.
Failed to inspect the seat for a stuck gasket ring, failed to oil the new gasket, failed to pre-fill it and WTF was the wrench needed for tightening it!! This is why I change my oil myself whenever I feel it needs changing.
The first thing he done wrong was called himself a technician. A technician only knows how to change parts a mechanic knows how to fix the parts and it doesn’t cost you very much money. We need mechanics not technicians.
Dont really need a date. You should be replacing them every oil change. And before you go on saying ManUfAcTuEr RecOmMenDs 10,000 miles, no. They recommend 10K for PERFECT driving conditions which over 90% of americans dont fall under. We fall under extreme. And oil filters. Although claims to run 20K will really only last as long as the oil you have in your engine.
@@AlfieArmani In a perfect world you wouldn't care about a date but I put the date on the filter because you don't know where that vehicle will end up next and I have never bought a used car that had service records included.
He used a long high torque filter tool wrench for reinstalling the oil filter instead of hand tightening. He didn't wet or soak the inside of the upside-down filter before installation. But luckily for the car owner he didn't flip the car upside down as suggested by some so called expert of YT.
-Add oil to the new gasket - Wipe the base clean before installing the new one. - 3/4 to 1 turn past the contact point, not 3 or 4 turns - I count 3.5 STP logos with the wrench - Use an impact wrench to save time.
1. They didn't get any oil on their gloves. 2. They are wearing gloves. 3. They don't workout enough as they should be able to spin the oil filter off my hand. 4. Didn't come across the positive terminal of the battery with that long ass ratchet wrench. 5. Didn't get fired for tightening it down to way past specs. 6. Decided to go with the cheap blue filter over the OEM Black filters Subaru's are supposed to get.
In all seriousness, the only thing he did wrong was that he didn't hand tighten or lubricate the O-ring on the lip of the fuel filter. On the other hand I would recommend writing the date and mileage on the side of bottom (Top) of the filter for the next mechanic. I like the fuel filter being up top because it's much easier to replace on the go if you just wanna get er done. Not filling up the oil filter isn't as bad as you may think. Running the engine for about 2 minutes after the change completely does the same thing.
@@AJ-jy6lb you mean he's as bright as a blown lamp. If you're going to use fuse which isn't bright in the first place, you may just as well use rock, board, paint brush, etc. Or I suppose you could just say he's as bright as a fuse since fuses don't glow.
The directions on the filter box says, "tighten 3/4 turn after the gasket touches the sealing surface. Also, put some oil on the gasket, so it does not stick.
Someone debunked the oil tip. Even when wiped clean there is more than sufficient residue to stop the seal from binding and kinking. That said, old habits die hard, I still do it 😂
@@jodycordell1972 if you have ever worked on a TSI engine you would of known that most of them don't spin on with ya fucking hands unless you have the grip strength of The Mountain and Eddie Hall combined!
