    As an Air Force veteran from Tennessee, I often displayed the flag of my home state. I was told several times to take it down. I would always reply, "As soon as they take it down at the wing headquarters." They had all the state flags flying there and no one ever noticed the TN state flag until they saw it at my house.

      The other thing I do (as well as lubing the gasket, which I saw you do) is fill the filter as much as possible with fresh oil before installation - that way the engine is less starved of oil on initial startup... not always possible, especially on filters not equipped with a non-return valve that are mounted at 90 degrees...

  • @Phantom_Garage
    @Phantom_Garage Před 5 měsíci +10

    Filters used on hydraulic lines are usually torqued to specification rather than hand tightened. The reason for that is that hydraulic lines usually operate at much higher pressures than engines. When it comes to engines hand tight works well. Any tighter and you may have to destroy the filter to get it off.

  • @jimmelnyk7506
    @jimmelnyk7506 Před 5 měsíci +2

    In all the oil filters I have changed in the past 50 years, instruction on the filter box always say, "tighten by hand," I've never had a problem in the past half century,
    The other thing I do is to put oil in the filter before installation. That way oil flow starts immediately, and the engine does not have to fill the filter before oil flows.

  • @markhull5776
    @markhull5776 Před 5 měsíci +10

    Follow the directions on the filter. Usually one half to three quarters of a turn after the filter contacts the base. Hand tight is plenty unless you can't get to it good but never exceed what's on the filter directions. ALWAYS check that the seal from the old filter isn't stuck on the engine base before you put new one on. Happens a lot.

    As a retired mechanic 2 rules. Never reinstall the drain plug without the wrench in the other hand. Put the oil fill cap in the hood/compartment latch until you refill. This can help avoid major mistakes

  • @fixerman54
    @fixerman54 Před 5 měsíci +2

    Professional mechanic here Nathan, regarding spin on filters just hand tighten only. Also, you have a pusher fan blade which means you should blow out the radiator from the engine side if at all possible. watch your video and when you start the engine it blows the dust out the back. Love watching your videos!

    3/4 turn after gasket contacts . A good rule of thumb is as tight as you can get it hand tight .
    Most come off hard the first time because they were put on dry . Always lube the gasket with oil .

    Nathan, the filters on a new engine are generally installed before the engine is painted and from my experience, its the paint that makes new filters hard to get off. Usually as marked on filters, a quarter turn past contact is all you need.

    @MichaelWilliams-kq1lv Před 5 měsíci +1

    Grew up in a family of mechanics and I was taught to tighten the oil filter up until the gasket makes contact and turn it with both hands and quarter turn more. Never use a tool to install the filter you will overtighten it. If you ever have to remove one that was tightened too much you will learn why. I spent a day removing a filter off a friends car with a punch and hammer once.

  • @workaholic5318
    @workaholic5318 Před 5 měsíci +1

    Hand tighten filters. If the gasket is compressed too much and is collapsed so that there is metal to metal contact it is likely to come loose. Cat dealership mechanic, 20 years a mine maintenance lead, and 15 years a logging equipment mechanic. Simply oil the gasket and follow the directions on the outside of the filter. The only exception is canister filters which have separate filters and a gasket that is tightened with a central bolt or a threaded outer housing.

  • @mgarner1155

      Came to say the same. Right hand up and down is excavator pattern. Left is backhoe pattern. Run my mini in backhoe and my 200 in excavator. Took me a while to get proficient in excavator pattern but ran backhoe more when learning how to operate in my younger years. 👍🏼

    • @gpetheri
      @gpetheri Před 5 měsíci +2

      @@AllstarVentures Yep, I think a lot of home operators probably drive a backhoe before they use an excavator and thus prefer what's familiar. But for the likes of me that have never used a backhoe, I only know excavator mode.

    New engines and equipment have their filters and plugs installed with a drying lube so they do not attract dust in transport and storage. Filters should be installed hand tight, however if your grip or strength are weak use help to put a slight compression on the gasket. Over tightening can damage the gasket, filter threads, or even the engine threads.

    @michaeldisante5145 Před 4 měsíci

    Also, I noticed that you are putting a lot of torque on the oil drain plug. These will vary slightly by manufacturer, but what I have generally seen is that they be installed with a NEW copper washer and tightened to no more than 25 ft-lbs. If the drain plug is leaking, it is usually because the drain plug gasket (the copper washer) is bad. Copper gets work hardened and will not seal properly if used more than once.

    If you ever have trouble with Aux quick disconnects a lot of equipment have a feature to relieve pressure. I know this works for a lot of them and some even have a switch to do it, if you turn the machine on and not start it on your mini take your safety leveler and engage like you were going to dig. Function your Aux switch back and fourth and it should make it easier to pull the couplings. And as an equipment mechanic for little over 30 years, oil filters get a good hand tightening, suction fuel hand tight, pressure fuel filters snug with wrench, Hyd little more then a good snug with a wrench.

    Always was told to hand tighten. From experience there are some diesel engines that you have to drill/punch a hole in the filter to get them to come off lol.

    I've always snugged the filter up by hand, and then go 1/4 turn with a filter wrench. That's the way Dad taught me.

    I've been changing oil for almost 50 years now and I only hand tighten oil filters. I was taught that in the 70's by a couple of experienced mechanics.

    I've always heard hand tight which is about 12 foot pounds of torque and then another 1/4 turn extra turn.

    What I have always been told, and always done myself, is to thread on the filter until the gasget just touches the filter mount and then tighten the filter BY HAND 1/3 to 1/2 turn. The gasket on a spin-on filter actually swells slightly when oil hits it and if you have used a wrench to tighten the oil filter, it can be a real bear to get off. As far as hydraulic oil filters are concerned, I would check with the manchine manufacturer. These systems operrate at much higher pressure than the engine oiling system so they may have a different gasket and/or need to be tightened differently.

    Hopefully a little helpful hint, always use a new crush washer on the oil drain plug.

      And never over tighten, or you will eventually strip the threads.

    You talk about slab firewood, back in the hills there was a set up and the old fellow running the mil, give him 50 buck and haul a dang near a truck load of good wood for kindling and daytime fire.

    I used to work for Sears, Laundry Products. The old hands always agreed that, to avoid call-backs, hand tight plus a half turn extra, to be sure. However, for MY appliances and rubber isolated devices, finger-tight alone because I'll be right there if, due to hot-cold cycles, I can tighten things a little. As for the manufacturer, they never wqnt to see you again! LOL

    I'm with you on the oil filter. Hand tight and then another 1/8 of a turn or so with the wrench. It's all about not having leaks but why stress the threads if you don't need to. 50 years of doing this hasn't failed me.

    I have raced cars for 25 years and change filters on a frequent basis. Always very hand tight, when it’s time to remove them I need a wrench. Also if I can’t find original use only Wix or Napa that are Wix.

    Worked as a heavy duty mechanic for years, have had my share of oil filters being too tight. My rule of thumb for any filter is: turn filter until it makes contact and turn 3/4 more. Never had a filter come loose or had trouble getting the filters I installl off.
