Plastic bag over the oil filter before removing and putting oil in the oil filter before screwing it into replace..... learned something today. Thanks for the lesson Bobby! If that flying thing doesn’t work out maybe, sailing (with beautiful women) 😁? You are living the LIFE!

[@PURDY449]

Omg Bobby !! I have changed oil a million times !! Never thought of putting a plastic bag around the filter. Thank you !!

[@juans3728]

Yes Bobby your correct about adding oil into filter to just before the open hole and rubbing oil on rubber gasket for easy removal next time. if you need to clean out the inside of the engine buy cheap oil and run for a day then replace with your #1 engine oil, it's great for the engine.

[@mattsez2879]

Im a mechanic.....and you did the oil filter perfect. Good job and nice to see

[@jamesbradburn552]

I don't know if it has been answered but the boat with the unstayed masts is a Chris White design Atlantic 70F.

[@jackdickerson2031]

Sid's personality is so spontaneous and makes one just want to watch her more. That smile is dynamite. I do the same things with my oil filters.

[@TheSeaYallLife]

We just got back from 10 days in St. Thomas and St. John on a rental power cat… We had a few sleepless nights too on some “rolly” anchorages and mooring balls. Nice to see you on a motor yacht… Lots of sailing channels out there but not a lot of power boat channels… Keep up the good work Bobby!

[@hd-xc2lz]

Lifelong sailor here as well, and very much agree that Bobby's power boat excursion is lotsa fun. I've never cruised on a power boat, so watching has been a learning experience, and best of all, Bobby knows his way around motors and boat systems, so we get a realistic picture of the level of maintenance involved.

[@mooorecowbell4222]

I can never remember when I last did maintenance. Seeing 4.4.21 on the oil filter plus what oil was used is handy. I always date stamp air filters, batteries, nipple covers, etc. with a good sharpie.

[@AustinBoil]

Date doesn't really mean anything, it's hours or miles that are used as a marker point.

[@tonystewart7287]

I always write the engine hours when the oil change was done.

[@robertholden3766]

Nice to see u put the hours and date on the filter..I used to take care of 5 mowers and two tractors..you should keep a maintenance log book for everything..keep the manufacturer's recommendation in the book also

[@CarneyFelonLawyer]

I keep camping gear on my boat and have abandoned ship to sleep on shore when conditions are ejecting us to the ceiling in the V Berth.

[@johng2963]

Probably already said in the comments way down below.... That "oil trick" with the filter has been around quite some time... At least it was for me when I started changing my own oil on car in 1984. I'm sure it was in play before then. I just learned it when I got my first car. Good tip to pass along. Thanks Bobby.

[@stevecrombie5357]

First time we've gotten to see Syd as solo crew. Good fun.

[@johnkirby4290]

Learn something today about changing oil. The bag around the filler . Good info. 🏴‍☠️

[@ricbailey170]

You only need too prefill the oil filter if it is staged inline before the engine. Most automotive/diesel engines have them mounted post engine and there is plenty of oil in the oil pan for the engine to run before the oil filter fills up. What ur doing is helpful but not needed. Also not a big deal as your filters are mounted vertically but if it was horizontal it would be a pita to mount full of oil.

[@BigGreasyDaddy]

Agreed, the oil filter is the last thing to get oil in a pressurized system, before it goes back into the oil pan.

[@terrydpierce2191]

I have a vacuum extractor for my cars... I hooked up a rig where my vacuum cleaner hose does the sucking... No pumping a plunger to pull a vacuum. My shoulders like me now.

You should try Leinster Bay, no rolling, protected, and has a natural water park that you can go snorkeling.

[@davidoutdoors74]

It's good to add a little oil to the filter so you don't have that void for the engine. Our huge road plow trucks are like that.

[@stanleykeith6969]

Add oil to the filter and fill it up and a little on the o-ring and only make it hand tight and then a quater turn.

Ya putting oil on the filter seal is to prevent it from drying out and leaking.... or sticking to the filter housing. Which my buddy learned the hard way on his almost brand new truck when he put a new filter on and didn't realize the old seal was stuck to the filter housing and oil went squirting out from between the 2 seals like old faithful... What an insane mess that was. Funny thing is he did it again right after because he thought something was wrong with the new filter seal. 🤣🤣🤣😆😆😆

Another "trick" to your oil change - when you're transferring the old oil into the container, put the container in a bucket. The larger bottom of the bucket will help with stability and any spills are caught. I have to figure out how to get the bag trick to work for a horizontally mounted filter (motorcycle), because I always make a mess taking mine off.
