Can u bust a oil pan gasket by putting a oil filter on too tight?

the oil pan and the oil filter are not connected. if you put the oil filter on too tight, you'll never get it off. put some oil on the oil filter o-ring and just hand tighten itCan u bust a oil pan gasket by putting a oil filter on too tight?
No. The oil filter does not connect to the oil pan. The oil filter screws into the oil pump and it should only be put on hand tight. All you should have to do to tighten the bolts on the oil pan to the factory torque specs and it should work. If not replacing the oil filter is not hard at all and can be done by yourself.Can u bust a oil pan gasket by putting a oil filter on too tight?
No way to bust an oil pan gasket by pulling the old fitter on to tight. The oil filter not part of the oil pan. You can bust the oil filter housing and the oil filter gasket. The only to bust a oil pan gasket is to over tighten oil pan bolts.
I don't think so, but remember you have to take it off again. If you are having leaks after replacing oil filter you might have left the old seal attached to the engine when you changed the filter, thus putting on new filter with another seal. two seals will leak.
No, the oil pan and gasket are completely seperate assemblies from where the oil filter screws on. If your gasket is leaking have you tried re-torquing your oil pan bolts? Sometimes something as simple as that will stop a leak. Hope this helps.
No! But you may deform the oil filter gasket sufficiently to cause it to leak. And you may have a bugger of a time removing the filter at oil change time too.
No but you may have damaged the gasket on the oil filter itself. This would cause a spray of oil so if you are just dripping that is not it.
No, you can't bust an oil pan gasket by putting an oil filter on too tight. An oil filter and an oil pan have nothing in common with each other except being in the oil system.
usually not if its leaking check the filter gasket make sure you didnt break the oil filter mount
no, it might have something to do with your oil filter mount or placement. (may be on cockeyed).
No, the oil filter has nothing to do with the oil pan.
Not possible. Oil filter and oil pan are two separate things
ugh no.
