Re: oil filter will not stay tight Posted by Ian Glenday [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Re: oil filter will stay tight, LesH, Thu, 1 Nov 2007 17:44:37 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
What Les said. That is the only logical thing unless they did some damage when changing the filter. Did they try a new filter? If you have the capabilty to get the car on a lift and check this yourself (have a new filter and drain plug gasket ready), I suggest doing that. You will have to drain the oil into a clean receptacle so you can reuse it if you don't want to buy new oil. New filters are only hand tight after spreading a film of oil on the gasket surface. Good luck!
