    Please lube your filter o-ring!!!

    This is what happens when "mechanics" don't use lube on the filter o-ring. I'm working on a 22v for a customer and thought this would be a 15 minute oil change. 3 hours later… In this case I will be using a spanner wrench with pins that will locate inside the filter holes in order to remove it.
    Fixing everyone elses boat just so I can use mine...

    ha, and for a klutz like me, I find it IMPOSSIBLE to not lube the ring. I always fill the filter before spinning it back on and invariably get too aggressive on my new oil pour and some burbles back out and lubes the ring. Spin the filter on to the scientific torque of "really hand tight" and I've never had a leak or a problem spinning it back off come oil change time.
