    Hi all, Last month i had my urvan oil changed sa catex after a week nag leak oil from oil filter so i tighten it myself.
    so i figure di siguro nahigpitan maigi. so the other day i decided to go to a different caltex station and have my oil change again, after a week started to leak again so i brought it back to the station and have them tighten it. guy that works there said its not tight enough. the leak is very small tho.
    my question is did this ever happend to any of you??


    thanks all

    Possibly there's a defect with the seal of the oil filter or the size may be slightly off. What's the filter model you're using? OEM? VIC?

    hand tight lang pwede na sa oil filter eh.. hindi naman basta mag leak yan basta naka lapat yung rubber seal.. inspect mo yung oil filter seat baka may tama
