How Long Can I Drive With A Loose Oil Filter?

Zero miles. Loss of oil will cause instant disaster for the starved oil pump and all frictional surfaces. Buy an insexpensive cup syle oil filter wrench and make sure the old oil filter gasket has been removed before you tighten the present oil filter back up 3/4 of a turn from gasket contact.How Long Can I Drive With A Loose Oil Filter?
not very far ! just far enough until your out of oil. you better get it tightened or your biggest problem will be changing the motor. you don,t even have to be driving, just starting it up will pump the oil out of the engine.How Long Can I Drive With A Loose Oil Filter?
Better question would be:





Why would I even drive with a loose oil filter?





You can tight it with your bare hands no special tools necessary.
Until all the oil leaks out, and you ruin your engine, why don't you tighten it up.
Until all your engines oil runs out and the engine locks up from lack of lubrication.a
I wouldn't even drive it until you replace that filter.
You shouldn't. All the oil will leak out and then you engine will burn up.
I agreed with - evan -'s answer.





Which is as far as the car can take you.
This would depend a good deal on your speed of travel. Probably around a half mile.
Until it stops
