Average torque is 75 inch lbs. (lbs-inches to be exact) The lowest was 68, the highest was 80. This is using engine oil. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:46:53 PM PST US From: Bruce Smith Subject: Re: TeamGrumman-List: oil filter torque Gary, Interesting.

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.

That only makes removal more difficult. Gary Sent from my iPad On Jul 18, 2011, at 7:10 PM, flyv35b wrote: > > Why so loose?
