Quick oil filter question

[IdahoDoug]

Now that's just plain ol' sick, and over the top. Heh....

One thing that I might add to Dougs proceedure is preheating the filter. I set my oven to 120 deg and place the filter in the oven out of it's box and the plastic film removed just as I'm going out to start the change. This way the gasket is slightly softened and the can has expanded to a mid point of it's normal operating temperature. That way the gasket will flex evenly from it's seated position as it either cools or heats.

Do you sing to it too?

I'm told by some here that pre-handling of the can by a swedish masseuse will do wonders for its ease of installation. Much less stiff....

Genius... pure, genius.

E yes there is a socket that works with the 20004, if you get one that fits perfectly they work great.

for the first time the removing the filter on my 80 was easy, I have a strap style but it does not fit very well, only gets 1/1,000 of a turn each grab takes for ever, the 3 tooths thing works but crushes the can onto the elemnt making it hard to pulll out for examination, brouhgt a 20004 to Autozone and pucked up one of those sockets "AmPro" # T70404, 73MM 14 flutes, fits perfectly, took the filter right out, needed a ~3" extension now I need to fold up a sheetmetal pan to keep the oil off the block and 80 series oil changes will be a snap (as they shold be)

A masseuse handles your can and it gets LESS stiff? Hmmm.

may try that. The last one was hell. Could only get it off with big channellocks and completely crunching the filter...

Austin,

Yeah, I was wondering about that too.

Eric, you may have a defective batch of 20004s. Send me a random sample of 10% and I'll perform some technical testing for you to confirm/deny this and save you a lot of trouble down the road. I'll pay for shipping as well.

Just to add to this thread, I recently discovered that my 1996 1HD-FT turbo-diesel engine oil filter, will fit my 1995 1FZ-FE engine!!!

No oil leaks, no oil pressure loss, no problem, for several thousand kilometers (I guess, as the previous lady owner did that). The o-rings just fit fine on the metal "bracket" it attaches to, and it threads perfectly in too. Somebody please remind me later about this thread when I get my oil analysis report in two weeks.

I just wonder if the much, much more expensive diesel oil filter was better/worse for the 1FZ-FE engine?
