Can old oil filter be left with new oil?
I'm doing an oil change on my 08 Toyota Corolla. It has about 3,500 miles. I got all the old oil out on the pan but can NOT get the oil filter off. I was thinking of leaving it on and just adding the new oil until the next oil change. Is this a good idea? I don't drive it much. I got it in January with 350 miles and only now it needs the maintenance.Can old oil filter be left with new oil?
THAT CAR IS UNDER FULL WARRANTY, YOU TAKE THAT CAR RIGHT BACK TO THE DEALER. SOMETIMES THE MANU. PUT A SEQUENCE NOTCH ON THAT FILTER, SO THE DEALER CAN TELL IF THE OIL HAS BEEN CHANGE BY A DEALER OR NOT. AND IF THERE IS ANY TROUBLE WITH THAT ENGINE, AND THAT FILTER HAS NOT BEEEN CHANGED BY A AUTH. DEALER, YOU BOUGHTY THE ENGINE. GET TO A DEALERCan old oil filter be left with new oil?
its not the best idea... you cant clean new oil with a filter filled with old oil. your oil is going to go bad a lot quicker than 3500 miles this time around. there should be no reason why you cant get the filter off, they are meant to be hand tight, maybe a little bit more. if its problem of not being able to reach it, all i can say is turn yourself into a pretzel and reach the thing, move whatever you have to to get it out. if its just on too tight, theres a lot of tools you can use to get it off that are actually designed for just that. or if it comes to drastic measures, take a hammer and a screwdriver, pop a hole in the side of the filter, then tap the screwdriver into the hole over and over again so it starts turning itself off of the engine. dont worry about ruining the old filter, you were just going to throw it away anyway. just get that thing off before you mess up your engine. good luck
If it's the first oil change, I would go somewhere to get it off because there may be a lot of bit's in the filter from breaking in the engine. After that, I don't see a problem with changing the filter every other oil change. I would make sure you get a good filter if you do this though.
Rather defeats the object as its the filter that cleans the oil,but a tip that may work.If its a screw on filter and on tight,try wrapping a sheet of sandpaper round the filter,its surprising how much easier it is to spin them off.Good luckbeach makeup

The cost is pretty comparible. If you buy a good filter, oil etc... And you don't have to clean up' or get rid of the oil, filter.How can I save 20 dollars and do my own Oil change and change oil filter?
If you read your question carefully.........Then you just actually answered it.
Your answer is in the question itself.
By changing your oil and filter youself...you will save money by not letting other people do it that will charge you.How can I save 20 dollars and do my own Oil change and change oil filter?
Go to autozone. and get oil and a filter. put the car on jack stand or a lift and un bolt the plug put a pan under the engine and unbolt the plug and then the filter and lift up on the bumber alittle bit and drain the put new filter on making sure the old seal came off wit the filter and put alittle oil on the seal and hand tighten not too tight and don't cross thread the filter or the plug and put plug in hand tight with wrench. and fill oild to proper depth and run engine and check for leaks and recheck oil.
Yes buy the oil you need and the oil filter.And then drain the oil and screw back in the plug replace oil and then replace oil filter.
here's a link... It should help no matter what model car you have.

As chad_mercure said, though I'd have to say walmart is pretty cheap on oil prices, get a 5 quart jug of say havoline for around 7 bucks I believe it still is, havolines a great oil. Skip fram oil filters, they are cheaply made and overpriced, go get a purolator, which can range from 2 to 5 bucks the last time I checked, or a napa gold/ wix which are a little better made and a little tad more. All in all you'll spend maybe 15 bucks, and you'll have the satisfaction you did it yourself, and did it right.... jiffy lube and other quiky lube places will be a little more, and hassle you over extras you don't need.... autozone or advance auto take the used oil.... I'd also get a oil drain pan, wally world sales a blitz one around 8 bucks. And on the plus side... jiffy lube can't screw your car over and not fix it.
you'll end up spending 15-20 dollars on the supplies to do your own oil change. then there's the disposal fees. just pay some one to do it.
get coupons that only cost 20$. its as cheap as doing it youself

How much does it cost to get an O ring leak on an oil filter, repaired?

Hello, go buy a new oil filter less than $10.00 they come with a new O ring. I would Go ahead and change oil while I was at it , you should be able to do it all for less than $ 25.00.How much does it cost to get an O ring leak on an oil filter, repaired?
If the ';o'; ring is leaking, just change the filter. the ';o'; ring is part of the filter itself. Make sure the old one doesn't stick to the mount and be sure to put a little oil on the new ';o'; ring to keep it from sticking.
The price of a new filter.
O rings come with the oil filter. When you replace the filter you replace the O ring. Just get an oil change.
im not sure why you would repair an o ring on a oil filter. You should just replace the whole filter. A new filter comes with the o ring.

How hard is it to clean carburators and change oil + filter ona ninja 250?

ok, with those out of the way. I bought a 250 about 6 months ago. I researched everything about it for about 6 months before that. I soon found out that the ninja 250 has one of the biggest communities available for online help. ninja250.org being the biggest and best even though the interface is a bit dated. But simple to use.
I have never cleaned my carbs. I only put about 5 ounces of seafoam (1/4 of a can) in the gas tank every other fill up. That will do the trick.
I did change my oil and that was simple. Quicker than changing the oil oil in my truck. You just have to make sure you remember how everything came out.
Also, check the oil screen after you drain the oil (http://faq.ninja250.org/wiki/Checking_th鈥?/a> It's the bolt right next to the oil filter bolt. Very simple, just take it off and brush off anything thats on it and put it back in.
I didnt use a torque wrench. Just tighten it hand tight and then give it a quater of a turn with a wrench.How hard is it to clean carburators and change oil + filter ona ninja 250?

Where can I find an oil filter for a 1973 Honda CB350?
I have looked everywhere!!!! and I can not find an oil filter for my motorcycle!!! They look in their books and say that there is no such bike that had an oil filter like the one mine has. . . Any advice?Where can I find an oil filter for a 1973 Honda CB350?
Go to a different Honda dealership. It's the paper filter from the bottom of the case right? There's an aluminum cover on the engine, either on the bottom or on the lower front with a bolt in the middle of it which holds your filter. If the Honda dealer says they can't help you, I would not do any more buisiness with them. When you find the guys that know the difference between the chain and the tire, you will find your filter.Where can I find an oil filter for a 1973 Honda CB350?
A 1973 Honda CB350 doesn't have a replaceable oil filter. It has a screen and a centrifugal oil filter. They just have to be cleaned.
Double check what year and model bike you have.
