So I need to do an oil change, this is my off season for driving we have extreme heat now here in S. Arizona. Is the filter and strainer completely separate? I assume you change the filter and check the strainer? Any you tube videos on this?

man....every small clicking torque wrench I find (other than a bar-type) starts at 10 inch pounds or more....i guess a bar-type would be fine - just pay attention.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) bar type is fine. Actually clicker wrenches are frequently used improperly. Can't tell you how often I see someone using one to tighten to the click . . . and then give it just a little bit more for good measure don't cha' know. I've done gauge repatability & reproducability studies on manual clicker wrenches in manufacturing environments and they rarely turn out well. DC nutrunner tools with monitored torque quickly proved to be more reliable than clicker wrenches. You can forget about DC nutrunner tools for home use. Way to expensive. Better to learn to properly use a bar or clicker wrench. |
