23-05-2009 9:43am#1Bought servicing parts for 04 suzuki liana. My husband put the new oil filter on and tightened it. We then filled back up with oil.
As he reversed, the oil filter loosened and all the oil poured out in a 12 foot slick.
Looking at the box it came in, it seems to be for a peuguot, so have put the old one back on (lucky not to blow the engine
)
Will go back to the shop to shout at them later but in the meantime what can i use to remove oil from tarmac??0

OP - the local garage did an oil service for me for €30. If I had brought him the wrong filter, he would have told me

Reverse there for a start. If your fitting parts to a car, the first thing you do ALWAYS is check the replacement parts against the old parts. If you fit a replacement part that is not the same as a part that is coming off the car, then this is your fault for not approaching the task in a systematic and logical manner, not the fault of the supplier.0 -

As said before stuff from Woodies is very good (I have some in the shed which I have used in the past, red & white tin. I'll post the name tomorrow) Rule of thumb when fitting oil filters is to make sure they are the same size where they mate to the engine block, check that the threads are the same (fine/course) & always lubricate the rubber seal with new engine oil & turn/tighten the filter one full turn after gasket contact 0

obviously then, he didn't........which escapes me - considering the filter is the easiest part on a car to tighten, ever, I'm dumbfounded on this one........flower tattoo wrote: »........My husband put the new oil filter on and tightened it.

“And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”
