Oil filter housing loose !

[lkchris]

Plastic oil filter canister lids on Mercedes are torqued to 25nm

Plastic oil filter canister lids on VW/Audi are ?? ( i think I recall my TDI was 25nm)

Plastic oil filter housings on Boxsters are 25 nm

Germans are like that.

I can use the same tool on filters on my gas Mercedes, the Boxster, and one of my BMW motorcycles. 74/14

Germans are like that.

Don't forget the o-ring. It needs to be a new one.

Own a torque wrench (probably two)

Yep. The wrench I have for my K bike also gets used on my Boxster and my daughter’s Jetta!
