I actually had a plant manager tell me this, and also...Quote "If a machine gearbox or spindle leaks , just don't fill them with oil, its less cleanup that way !!!???!!! And finally it happened..., after neglecting to replace the seals on a 750 ton press, (heavy presses are usually built into a pit in the factory floor... a seal finally blew, sprayed 450 gallons of fluid-cost $40 dollars a gallon, of sickly warm, brown/red burnt hydraulic fluid across myself and everyone within 20ft nearby. Afterwards, we discovered and pumped over 2500 gallons out from the pit, it was almost completely full... Osha, Dept of labor, Local Fire Dept, County wildlife, State Inspectors, and Epa all became involved... Yikes, all to save a few bucks on labor, that was then wasted in oil usage anyway, and then multiplied by environmental fines. $$$ X1000

I, usually, torque the new filter until it collapses on itself, then turn another half turn. That way the filter doesn't hold as much oil, so takes less to fill... conserves oil.

Just be sure to bring the car in for regular top-ups, as helium is somewhat of an escape artist. For minimum maintenance, other the other hand, tires inflated with sulfur hexafluoride should maintain their pressure for a good long time, absent actual punctures, and the extra density of the inflation gas will add stability to the vehicle, helping it remain right side up during maneuvering.

For the additional 40+ quarts of crankcase oil fill past the initial OEM spec 5 quarts, use 90 weight instead of the 15-40 weight you mentioned. That will further reduce the chance of leaks.

Ray, I have never laughed so hard in my life! I thought WTF he has lost his mind or he has a personal vendetta against the people he is working for! ( You know.. I'll get you, you " You SOB " ).

OMG, that is so funny and scary at the same time. I lost it when you put dielectric grease in the filter, followed with a ring of red snot on the gasket and then put locktight over all that. A Great satire. Thank you and to your employer that allows you to do this.

If you look, he didn't really put the Lock tite. That stuff is too expensive .

I'm glad a professional finally admits that the way I've installed filters for almost 50 years is the proper way to do it. I use black form-a-gasket, though. Less chance the filter will fall off when you're driving.

Thanks for the quality professional training video. I followed your guidance exactely and changed the oil on the church van. I had to stop at 40 quarts when it wouldnt take anymore. I looked for the cam phasers in the oil pan and didn't see them. So I added a couple. I also used two part epoxy to glue the filter on and the oil pan plug in. Can't to too careful.

The extra oil can be added pretty much anywhere: gas tank, air filter, tires, or just pour it over the dashboard.

[@boyracer3477]

I had a wife, literally a genius by IQ who called to say the oil was low on her 3 cylinder Geo Metro. I told her to fill it until the oil was at the full mark on the oil stick. She called back later from the highway. The car was smoking badly. I drove out to see what was happening. The car was throwing out an oily smoke screen like a war machine. I ask her if she filled the oil. She said it wouldn't get to the full line. I asked how much oil she put in. She said 11 quarts. She had put oil into the engine and checked the transmission fluid stick rather than the oil level stick and saw that it was still low. Called my great mechanic. He said just to bring it in. He drained the oil and it ran fine from then on.

[@edwinscriven7808]

@@boyracer3477 There was a young airmen (18yo) at my shop in the 80s that had a VW rabbit. We were outside at the break area when he pulled up leaving a huge smoke cloud behind him.
