With oil filters that are a bit tight I've wrapped a sheet of sandpaper round it and that can give you a bit more grip...to be fair though, that looked like it had kind of welded itself on a bit so sandpaper might not have worked. Enjoyed the video👍

Ah yea I know what you mean. I’ve never tried one of them but yea look good, only downside is would need a range of sizes for all the different ones I do
What you missed, the bag in the box does suck in any air and the left over oil won't degrade. Once empty is can be used for old oil in exactly the same way as you are used to.
I've got the rubber strap version of your chain filter remover. Very cheap but it works. Although I did have to wipe it off with brake cleaner first for it to grip.
Yea I thought I had a webbing version somewhere but I have a similar clamp thing for joinery I must have been thinking of. You can probably improvise too with some old inner tube etc if you had to
Thanks Paul. Need to get some footage together for the next garage instalment. It’s come on a long way but still a long way to go as just don’t get the time
First time I've seen oil in a box. I'm assuming the liner is made of plastic AND can't be used again so can't see how this is saving much environmental-wise. Interesting video as always👍

Listen to Mr Chadwick he's not the silver fox for nothing 😎. There's nothing wrong with the oil from last year if it's not used, it's not like brake fluid that you try to use it all now that you opened it.🙂 One other thing to consider I fill my oil filter with oil and let it sit a soak in before I put it back on the bike. Silver Fox might do that as well.😆 Cheers
We shall agree to disagree :) Yea I mentioned about pre filling etc but didn't use the clip, can't use everything. I always prefill the landy one as its a vertical fitment, same with the diesel filter to aid bleeding. Silver Fox too lazy to do that, he scrunched his nose up at the suggestion I seem to recall!
Hi John, I do soak and pre-fill filters when mounted vertical, bit messy when horizontal. They dug up a WW2 Bomber once from a bog. They tested the oil from a unbroken gear box, and guess what....the oil was still in spec after 50 years. 🤔
I think that when the engine comes up to temp, any water in the oil will be vaporized and vented off. Condensation in the fuel tank is what worries light plane pilots.
YES. Regular long runs are good for the oil. Where as lots of short runs are much worse for the oil. Every heat cycle of the engine ends with the air in the Crankcase cooling, contracting and drawing air to equalise the pressure. The moisture content of air dependent on temp and humidity. So many heat cycles draws more moisture, long runs boil off moisture. We don't need to be over concerned by this, but it is good to be aware of. 😎
What kind of oil filters is everyone using. Just got my gt and needs it's first oil change re filters gonna take a while to get here. Thought there might be better options anyway. Any help would be greatly appreciated
I use Westway Lubricants, great quality BUT NOT RED !!! 🤣. They do a 4T oil that is exsactly to the RE specification at about 1/2 the price of the red stuff. Satisfies my Yorkshire genes, quality and value. 😎
It's about time companies start using boxes with liners, the liner will degrade in 10 years plastic bottles WILL NOT. You better get on board, don't want to lose subscribers over something so simple
My issue is they are very much single use. Also.. something that I didn’t show that happened after, because I didn’t have a bottle in which to put the old I left it in the bowl on the shed floor until I had chance to fetch an old can. But when tidying I dropped an axle from my wheel balancer into the oil which was annoying… and then when I came back later I had an oil slick inside and outside the shed… it had cracked the bowl. The amount of stuff I had to use to clean that up way outweighed any environmental friendliness. Also do they not recycle plastic oil bottles? I thought they did. If not then perhaps we should go back to metal ones. Either way plastic or metal they get used more times than these disposable ones. I think I’d like to do some more research and see which really is better.
@@DormanDiaries: I agree the metal ones were better and you can use them repeatedly. Here in the US, we can burn used motor oil in a shop furnace for heat in the winter, it's a perfect way to rid the old oil. Keep up the great work, really enjoy your channel. Cheers!

Good to see some new videos from you, I like the informal format. More please 👏👏👏
Thanks again Rob

It all gets used one way or another I might even scrape together enough for a Grom change and yes she is!

Yea I was quite surprised as took a few turns to get her loose and its not like I swing on them when fitting.
always great videos! Thanks for tips!
I like the drink more wine in a box suggestion. The shops hide the oil bag from the customers just as I would hide the wine box from the lady friends.
👍 Ahaha 🤣
Motul's 7100 4T synthetic motorcycle oil comes in 10W-50 (even in 10W-60) with JASO MA2 rating, and it's in bottles.
Thanks Dave, I think I'll be looking at other alternatives like this next time.
Another great video & good tips too👍🏻
Thanks John!

I’m with you, I’d have gone for all new oil too. The excess from last time will keep for some other, more crude job.. 😉
I think its because we are used to a disposable way of life. In't olden days they'd have filtered old stuff through a sock ... (only joking)
I just bought a oil filter cap style removal tool. Easy peasy.

Much better. The rubber strap . Also exists the nylon strap.
Hi Dorman diarys, good vid . When are you up loading the next build vid on building the garrige
Thanks Paul.

I’m starting to wonder if it’s more of a packing/shipping saving rather than an environment thing.
@@DormanDiaries Ah, yes that makes more sense🙂

Not sure I like that either, better for environment but not good for me being so clumsy, I’d probably poke a hole in it somehow
I had visions of that or ripping off the neck!
What is the oil filter number that you use in the UK .
What kind of oil filters is everyone using. Just got my gt and needs it's first oil change re filters gonna take a while to get here. Thought there might be better options anyway. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Nice video
Thank you 😊
Embrace the bag. 😄
i was also disappointed when i received my silkolene in a box as it was clearly advertised in a plastic can, aw bugger
If you didn't waste money on Silkolene oil & genuine filters you wouldn't have that problem.
I got a similar comment from Silver fox 🤣 - mine.. it’s worth it for the cherry red oil window 😎
