  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Oil Filter Question Te 250

How's this?

It helps, they should make it more clear the o ring faces out. It will go in the other way, which I bet would cause oil starvation to the piston.
 
I've searched around to find as much info as possible. Sometimes I have to look through three different manuals to put together the correct procedure. If that doesn't work this site always saves me in the end!
 
The seal which is on the end of the filter faces out, the oil filter housing pushes on to the seal. Confused me the first time when the filter fell out when I took the housing off before I could see which way it was sitting!!
 
Now you've got me thinking, I changed my filter for the first time on the weekend.
Do you have to actually pull the seal out from the filter first and fit it to the filter cover as per instructions?
I just slid the filter straight on without fitting the rubber seal to the cover first,
Now I'm confused!!!

I think the instructions listed above relate to an older model Husky as my x-lite doesn't have that o-ring (number 8 on the picture) on the back of the filter.
 
My instructions are slightly different, at the back of my filter is a sort of round spring washer.
I just slid my filter on to the front cover, now I don't know wether to leave it or do it again as per the above instructions.

Looks like I'm wrong. Workshop manual clearly shows a wave type washer which sits on the rear of the oil filter acting like a spring. I've done 4 filter changes I've never seen that washer, I bet it fell out on the first change and I never knew it was there!! Opps.
 
I definately have the spring washer, I'd say it would put tensioner on the filter and push the oil filter seal against the oil filter cover.

Alright Freaky, you were "Freakin me out" for a minute there. Mine didn't come out on my first oil change until I wiped it out while cleaning up. I hope yours is still there. I'm pretty sure it's an important part of the filter setup.
