VR6 Oil filter Plastic Housing cup

Recommended Posts

what do you guys use to change the oil filter on a VR...

 

after 20 years I've managed to destroy the plastic housing the filter goes in.... I've always used a 36mm socket to remove the filter but to day I've manages to destroy the plastic nut on the housing.... so I will be after a new housing on Monday..

 

managed to get the housing off with a standard oil filter chain round the upper 14 flutes. but it wasn't nice..

 

ives seen cups that fit the 14 flutes but nothing deep enough.

Ive always done the 36mm socket way i think problems occur with age and overtightening as it only needs to be nipped up.

Snap, always used a 36mm socket without any problems as long as you don't overtighten it.

Thanks all.. I. Never over tighten it. It's max 25 n/m but I do find it tight. Will see if I can get a new cup or decent secondhand one on Monday.
