« on: 26 September 2015, 16:24:06 »Yep I stand corrected Omnivores not carnivores.Sentiment remains the same though
Panda's are carnivores really but eat only bamboo so that's why they are dying out lets hope all the vegans go the same way

nice car but just be careful because as the engine has been put in the wrong way round they suffer from the rear bank overheating so keep the coolant clean

Always used Turtle wax original and been very happy with it till I used it on my BLACK Monaro it was a bar steward to get rid of streaks so tried Autoglym super resin and finished with extra gloss and wow so easy and amazing shine

Omega General Help / Re: Cannot undo oil filter cartridge on new 2.5 V6 - any suggestions?
« on: 09 August 2015, 23:40:03 »You did the same as me and mine split , i just put a bit more leverage on the cap and it split enough to turn by hand . This is why i will never go back to these cartridge filters , too much faffing about . I did the spin on conversion and never looked back
Use a chain or filter strap on the housing if its spinning.
The cap is knackered now and stealers wanted £35 ish for a new cap unless you can source a second hand one .
that's the way to go.

Omega General Help / Re: modification of the oil filter (question)
« on: 02 August 2015, 00:13:02 »Seems to be a mass panic about changing these,The filter insert ones are the work of the devil
Try getting a housing off that's just spinning
You won't regrets doing the mod to the spin on
I changed cartridge filters in my V6 for 10 + years with no problems at all ....... I don't know what the problem is with them
I'm with you on this, if they are fitted and torqued correctly, no problems...
This is where the problem lies as many have been done up by a gorilla so they won't come undone and when they do they break the casting in some way, as in the case with mine it was cheaper to change it than to replace it with one from a stealer.

Okay I am not suggesting over tightening the Ali type at all as that is what destroys them mainly It seems that people have got he wrong end of the stick the OP was talking about changing the ali type to the older canister type and I asked where the leak was from after he had changed to the earlier type and said that I have had them leak before because of a faulty rubber ring and said even over tightening it didn't stop it I had to change the filter before it stopped leaking and it was on both times patent filters. Hope that clears things up.

« on: 31 July 2015, 22:33:49 ». Than 25nm or is it 15nm. Never had one leak yet.Where is it leaking from did you use a genuine filter? I did mine and have had no problems at allIf fitted correctly,and torque'd correctly, pattern or genuine, wouldn't make a difference.
Think your confusing a spin on canister with the cartridge insert.
Spin is 3/4 hand tight, cartridge is inside alloy housing then torqued up.
I have had some patent ones leak because the rubber seal was not brilliant
Spin on to touch then tighten 3/4 is correct but it dripped and I tightened them over full turn so changed for another patent one and okay on both times.
Nope its you as op wants the spin on filter
