Oil filter housing torque value
« on: 18 May 2010, 14:15:58 »
HI!

I can't find information about the torque value of the oil filter housing for later V6 motors.A huge HEX bolt fixes the house to the cylinder block.Does anybody know this value?So I need the torque value for the whole house (bolt) not the house cover.

Absolutely no more than 15nm!! :D ;)

All too often they are over tightened, and in truth just a light tightening is actually required. :y :y

If it helps from my Notes on the 2001 Cadillac Catera V6 3.0L

  - The bolt that holds the housing to the block needs a 12mm hex head (allen key) bit to remove/ replace it. The bolt is hollow so don't lose anything inside it!

  -  33ft/pounds or 45 NM for the filter housing

  -  and 11ft/pounds or 15 NM for the cap.  The cover/ cap is shaped to take a 24mm socket.

Additionally, Torx size for sump drain plug: T40

Cheers
