| Subject: | Re: oil filter torque |
Sounds like you are saying that 16 lb.-ft. is over tightening. I don't
have a problem removing filters that are torqued this way. The problems
I've had is when an owner installs a filter without a torque wrench and
tightens it much higher. You probably recall that the filter torque
used to be 18 lb.-ft. I assume that Champion thought that was to tight,
and I would agree, and so it was lowered.
