Oil filter change and Exhaust Wrap - Urrg! (Read 125 times)

ocdave Ex Member	Oil filter change and Exhaust Wrap - Urrg! 07/05/11 at 17:47:52 Okay, someone give me some tips here. I put a nice titanium colored exhaust wrap on my header. I spilled oil all over the wrap doing my first oil and filter change the other day. What can I do to keep the oil left in the filter from running onto my header?

And, when the inevitable happens, don't freak out about it.

Oil stains (even dirty oil) will evaporate from your wrap inside 60-90 days and the dark solids will become dust which blows off the fiberglass from the wind forces.

Smokes like a beeach for a few trips though .... gets you some looks it does.

Grin

Your wrap is not immortal, it will come apart slowly over the years ....
