Title: Wix oil filter 57011 problem
Post by: Jack in NB on July 01, 2014, 10:49:45 PM
Hi folks -

Did an oil and filter change on my OC-3 yesterday. Replaced the filter with a 57011, recommended as a sub for the previous 51101, refilled, started - oil pressure ok (+/- 20), backed it into the shed and oil everywhere.

The filter had popped off and pumped half the oil out.

The mounting  bracket seems undamaged.

Has anyone else had a problem like that?

Found the problem.

The gasket on the old filter remained in place on the filter bracket; the two thick gaskets prevented the threads on the new filter from engaging sufficiently.

Glad you found the reason and happy it didn't do any damage.
