1st oil change
05/06/10 at 19:23:02
Finished my first oil change on my S40 -- very easy following the tech page, it was much easier to use an alum cake pan than the normal oil pan.

I'm going to attempt my first oil change one of these days . Did you replace the two o rings or use the same ones ? Also is the spring part trickey ?

I reuse both... spring is just a little tricky...
Mostly,... MAKE SURE YOU PUT THE FILTER IN RIGHT WAY ROUND....
Bad boom, if it's backwards!...
... It will blow the filter right through the side case!...
Correct way...

It is interesting that the cover will blow out otherwise - first picture we saw of that was quite strange

The hole in the filter faces the inside ,towards the motor. Got that . Where does the small o ring seat,in the indentation around the hole?Also is it possible to overtighten the cover and crush the big o ring? Just double checking.Thanks

There's a metal tube that the oil slips on toward the engine - small rubber oil goes on this shaft to seal it - large rubber o-ring fits the cover to seal it - a spring fits in the center of the back side of the oil filter and pushes against the oli filter cover to hold the filter tight against the engine

worse than over-compressing the o-ring... you don't want to strip out aluminum case...
Steel bolts in aluminum cases,... always be careful not to over tighten...

T handle allen wrench, if youre a giant, use 2 fingers. Youll feel the screw land, then just snug it up a bit. This isnt holding the thing together. You can check them later to see if they need more torque. You cant undo a stripped case w/o a load of hassle.
