    I’ve thought about doing that in my daily routine as far as removing those canister type oil filters before draining the oil and now after seeing this video wwk I think I will be doing that from now on that was a good tip and advice thanks wwk

      I wonder if it makes a difference whether the filter screws on in pour-out orientation vs with the filter hanging below the screw threads.

    Since the late 80s up to around 2008 I worked in a few lube shops plus a Goodyear and NTB and did tons of oil changes. I don't remember being specifically taught to always pull the filter first but I got into doing that before taking the drain plug out. Something I was specifically taught was on the Wankel engines like in the RX-7 at the time, was poking a hole in the top of the oil filter then taking it off. Besides it being the least messy of just about anything around at the time it also made sure all the oil drained into the oil pan before pulling the plug like on this car. In the last few years I was changing the oil on a 2009 Chevy Malibu 2.4L with the top mount canister filter partly under the intake manifold and I did the same thing.

    Been doing mine for years. Put some bearing grease on o ring and just snug it up. Don’t over tighten. Check for leaks.

    • @jthonn
      @jthonn 6 дней назад

      Just bring it to WM or one of those oil change places. They will forget to tighten the filter and drain plug, burns up your engine, so you get a new engine out of the deal.

  • @thomasgreene5750
    @thomasgreene5750 6 дней назад +2

    Where did the missing refrigerant leak out? The valves at the low- and high-side connections seem like probable locations. If there was already dye in the system, a leak at the valves should be detectable.

    • @truracer20
      @truracer20 6 дней назад

      The refrigerant went somewhere but yeah there's no reason to check for leaks under vacuum, just charge the customer for a recharge every oil change or so.

    I've learned the hard way that all fill ports and filters should be opened/removed before the drain plug. Bad feeling to drain the fluid before discovering the fill port can't be opened, or the filter wrench was "borrowed".

    I usually crawl under the car and remove the drain plug first, then after the engine cools off a little more I remove the oil filter. Since I removed the drain plug first, I usually put it back in right before replacing the oil.

    • @dancarney106
      @dancarney106 5 дней назад

      . I agree, plus chemical dye has a life span. And chemical dye and A/C oil is different depending on the type of A/C refrigerant. I alway evacuate the refrigerant, see if the system holds a vacuum for 10 min then continue the vacuum for 20 minutes, technicians know a vacuum of at least 28 in must be applied to the system for 30 minutes so that any moisture in the desiccant that is a part of the receiver drier or accumulator boils off its stored moisture. After 30 minutes of vacuum evacuation add the correct amount of new dye and oil into the LOW side of the system then add the correct refrigerant amount into the high side of the system.The vehicle engine is still OFF during the oil, dye and refregerant addition. I prefer to add the correct refrigerant amount while the key off engine is not running and the low side valve on the A/C machine is in the off position and all refrigerant is pumped into the high side. Once the A/C machine indicates its completed. I open both valves on the A/C machine, start the engine, place the vehicle in MAX cold front and rear all vehicles windows in the up position (make sure you don't lock the keys in the car) and perform a PERFORMANCE TEST (monitor A/C pressures). If all is still good then I turn the engine OFF close both the HIGH & LOW valves on the A/C machine disconnect the high line from the vehicle open the HIGH & LOW valves on the machine and let any remaining pressure in the HIGH side hose move into the vehicle low side. Close both valves on the A/C machine, close both valves on the ends of the A/C hoses and disconnect the hoses. ALWAYS WHERE EYE PROTECTION AND GLOVES ALWAYS!!!!!!!

    Not sure if that's a 3.6 Penta but if so you don't want to go bananas on anything. The oil filter housing will strip threads or break like nothing and the plastic oil cooler will likely leak on its own without bananas being involved.

    Replacing the o-ring on the oil filter cap is overrated. I bought a Mobil oil filter that came with a nice silicone o-ring 5 years ago. I haven't changed the o-ring since then. I recently installed the Dorman aluminum OFA and transferred the o-ring to the new cap on our 2018 Pacifica.

    My understanding is that the A/C system is a sealed system. If it needs a top-off or refill of refrigerant, then it has a leak somewhere. Am I wrong?

    • @williampatrickfagan7590
      @williampatrickfagan7590 4 дня назад +2

      Correct..Use Air con often even in cold weather.
      It forces refridgent to move around the system and keeps the seals lubricated.
      Dry seals DO NOT seal very well,if at all.
      So the air con gas escapes.

    You are absolutely wrong about the a/c. You pull a vacuum and put a micron gauge on it and you will find the issue, if you can't get it down fast you have moisture and you are going to have to vacuum it down for hours and hope. You can fill the system full without running the compressor if you do it right.
