Hi guys ,

Had problems with overtight oil filter .... ending up using the screwdriver method .

Iam wondering if I Can run / warm up engine for some min with the crushed filter on so I can drain the rest of the oil ? ? and then ofcourse put a new oil filter .

it took me some hours to finally unscrew it without running the engine first

 

you might do more harm than good , if some of the filter element is damaged inside you may let some big crap in the motor , I would just change everything and not worry bout it , I never change mine hot cause I want it drained down in the bottom

 

The rest of the oil?

 

dump the oil, put on new filter, add new oil.
don't forget to wipe some oil on the filter gasket before installing it.
do not tighten it up too much! Hand tighten only!

 

You'll never get all the oil out of the sump without some kind of Scavenge system. Even if you run your motor without any new oil in it it will not completely empty out the sump. The only way is to flush it out is with new oil using one of these:

I don't think it's worth it to waste all the oil needed to flush it out using one of these.

 

Been there and done that.....just change the oil and filter and be happy!

 

Absolutely. Best not to worry too much about getting out every drop of dirty oil when, in reality, it's insignificant. If I am going to obsess about something on the bike, it damn sure won't be over the oil.

 

Next time use a K&N filter. They have a nut on the end you can put a wrench or socket on.

 

snap on has a great strap type filter wrench that works with a 1/2 and 3/8 ratchet/breaker bar. I work on cranes and have yet to find a filter that beat it

 

Yup, K&N filter+1 on those.

Okay, so I use the scavenger oil change kit for my oil. It's not for everyone and it takes more time to do a change that way. However, when I see that I get about 30 ounces of dirty oil out of the sump that would otherwise mix with the clean oil, I am okay with that.
