Rhitter Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 I have never had issues with the fumoto. It does what it's supposed to do. No fuss. Same with my oil filters. I pre-fill / oil the ring and hand tighten to "snug". I wonder if there is something wrong with the mating surface (contamination etc) on your car?

EnduringGuerila Posted September 28, 2020 Author Share Posted September 28, 2020 I have prefilled the oil filters on all cars that I can and the sub is the first one I've owned that the can is completely upside down and can nearly completely fill it. I only drove it like 10 miles to the new house and no leaks (from the new OE oil filter) and I'm still using the OE drain bolt. The front axle seals are still leaking, was hoping they might stop when I lowered the car off the jack stands it had been sitting on for months. I've had to shove a screwdriver through to get the oil filter off a used car I bought. That wasn't fun, I still hardly got the damn thing off. It was practically just half of an oil filter stuck to the block. Think it was on my 4runner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhitter Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 My front axle seal cured it self after about a weak of driving after a did my clutch. So there is still hope! My OBXT build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
