[AT] tractor oil filters

[Dennis Johnson]

I had 2 vehicles with a cap like you describe. Once was a GMC Terrain, and the other an ECODiesel. To me they are the best filter arrangement I have seen in years. The cap comes off going up, so oil drains back into the filter housing. Put a new filter in the cap, install it, and tighten it. Having a special socket is much easier than trying filter wrenches and unscrewing a filter while oil drains all over whatever is below the filter.

Thanks

 James,
My wife's Camry is like that, you need to take off an outer housing and the filter is then removed separately. I change my own oil, and it's a royal PIA. Not to mention I needed to buy a special tool to fit on the housing to remove it, and then torque it down to 22 ft lbs when I am done. Not sure what the engineers were thinking when they threw that design into the equation.

I worked on a slide former 20 years ago that stamped the oil filter outer skins. Back in the fifties, the filter fit inside a reusable canister.
