oil filter removal on v6
« on: 17 October 2009, 16:03:36 »
Thinking of doing an oil change and checked which filter is fitted. I have the type with the replacement element fitted, tried to move it but is tight and noticed the whole container unscrewing from the engine block. Sure I have read somewhere there is a modification available to convert the filter to the canister type?

Get a metal band type filter wrench and tighten it around the housing, grips it nicely while you undo the lid. Inside there's a 27 mil socket holding the housing to the block, you'll probably need to tighten that up before putting the new filter in.

Just what I need. Same issue this afternoon. Any idea where I can pick up one of those band wrenches on a Sunday? Halfords?

Thanks for your help not looking forward to it The large O ring I assume goes under the cap . What seals the body  the bit that comes loose when you dont want it to. The old system was so easy why change
