When changing oil, take the oil cap off, it'll help with the flow. Also, don't tighten the filter too much, I always tighten by hand, it helps for next time. As for the tool to take the filter off, I used a strap tool to release the filter in the past. Now I use Aeroflow filters, they have a built in nut on the bottom of the filter, very easy to take off. I also like your catch tray, I'll have to look into getting one.

no, dont just tighten by hand, jusy tighten it nice and snug with a wrench rather than trusting a hand tighten, oil has a higher chance to leak if tightened just by hand. you dont want it torqued down either. just snug
@Bonezz0245 жыл бұрын
@@brendanyazzie2774 There's no need at all to tighten the filter with a tool. Doing that runs you the risk of over-tightening and damaging something next time you go to get it off.

I never put oil in the filter if its on the bottom because it's already going to automatically go stright into the filter and pan and the oil pump is just going to pump it all the way through when its started and drive afterwhen you fill it up anyway . Only on the gasket.
@Bajaheat7 жыл бұрын
You should not be low on coolant. Keep an eye on it. If it gets low again get it into the dealer. It's a sealed system so if your low your burning it or leaking it somewhere

Most change first oil change around 1500 to 2000 miles... then again 3k later at the 5k mark.. depends on what you believe about break in but I say better safe than sorry.. friction is friction on new parts that create a wear pattern and seat.
