I then inspected it and it didn't have on on. so I slipped the one I tried to put on up farther. It was a pain to get the canister on tight as it was now slippery. I got it as tight as I could and will keep an eye on it.
The oil filter extraction tool I got a walmart didn't even fit.. I borrowed my neighbors craftsman rubber strap thingy. looked like one of those things used to get lids off of jars  |
I'd watch using a rubber strap device, or anything else that grabs the cannister by its sides, they can lead to cracked canisters. Get a proper fitting tool, they are pretty cheap and live forever.........the size is 74MM

Definately a must, I didn't even know they made them. Next years Oil change should be a breeze!! How tight do you tighten the canister? I couldn't get it as tight as i wanted cause of the oil on it from the leak.

Its not the numbers that piss me off. its the use of over 30 different tools to do one job.  I am exaggerating a little, but not much. star hex hear, 4 different sockets there, philips there and some tool I will never use again. Good frickin God, no wonder it cost $200 for an oil change, the mechanic has to pay for his tools. 1 type of screw and a couple of different sockets would be greatly appreciated!!

Type B oil filter wrench from AutoZone... cost me $7 (I think). I took the canister into AZ with me to size it. I'm surprised you put in 9 1/2 quarts? With my 2.5L I was full at 9Q. Actually thought it was a little high, so next time I'll stop at 8 3/4.

Thanks for the autozone price alert. I have 3.2, Idon't know if that makes a difference on the amount of oil. I also let it drip for an hour. I checked both the dipstick and the electric dipstick. only problem is everytime you start your car you have to wait ten minutes.

True, tools do cost $, but if maintained will last you a life time, plus your tools will always be there at 2AM when your "friends" won't answer the phone......

That's an easy one: the OEM specs are in Newton Meters (Nm), a metric unit of torque where 1 newton metre = 0.7375621 foot-pound .............
