sweet right up! this should be a sticky!
Hmmm... I've never pre-oiled an oil filer before install:shrug:
I fill the oil filters on my two other cars but that is because the filter mounts vertically. Filling one to use on a Cobra is pointless because as soon as you turn it horizontally to screw on the oil will come pouring back out.
Not really, most of it soaks into the filter paper. You lose an ounce or two out of the pint they hold. Cheap insurance, so you don't (further) starve your engine of oil during start-up post oil change.
I just changed my oil today. Not so happy. I first changed the oil in the blower as per the write up from another thread. Then I changed the actual engine oil. Now I have an annoying tick coming out of the engine. I cant tell if its coming from the heads or the blower itself. I cant hear it inside the car, but once I pop the hood and listen, I can def. hear it.
I used mobile one 10W-30 for the blower, drained the oil out , filled it up with new oil. Oil started to pour a little out of the hole, so I wipe it out, and plugged it back up with the nut.
I then changed then engine out with mobile one 5W-20, did everything correctly, even used a mobile one filter. Checked and rechecked everything to ensure I was good to go. Checked the oil level, it was good. Cranked the car up and I heard the ticking noise. Any idea guys?
Im taking the car to a buddy's house tomorrow to take a look at it more in depth. The tick def. wasnt there before, if it was I never noticed it. :??:
did you use a motorcraft oil filter? is your oil synthetic? how much oil did you put in it?
this is all I got.,., now how am I gonna change my oil :shrug:

If you are using anything other than a Motorcraft oil filter you are WRONG.
