| Subject: | oil filter torque |
I've checked the torque AFTER i've installed the filter the way I like. Average
torque is 75 inch lbs. (lbs-inches to be exact) The lowest was 68, the highest
was 80. This is using engine oil.

Gary,
Interesting. Describe "the way I like." I always learn something from your engine
posts.

Why so loose? The torque spec is 16 lb.-ft.

Hi Bruce,
I thought I went through this already.
Just in case . . . . . I hand tighten and then use vise grips and give the
filter a little snug. Nothing scientific.. What I have done over the past
several months is to use an inch-lb torque wrench and, starting at 50 in-lb
s I increase the torque until the filter moves.
I've never had a filter leak. Several year ago, I installed the safety wire W
ith about 1/2 turn of slack to see if the filter ever moved. Never did.

Why over-tighten? That only makes removal more difficult.
