Can someone remind me what the torque setting should be for the oil filter cap please? I've a feeling mines a bit tight and is likely to bring the sandwich plate ring with it. Figured I'd do a proper job and avoid any future seal swapping.

not that much, perhaps 20Nm

 

I would strongly advise you replace the O ring seal on the lid.

 

I have a few if you get stuck.

As above, those type of caps are normally 20-25nm

6' breaker bar and go till you pass out

That was last time.

It is 25Nm for the cap and 120Nm for the ring according to the TIS.

Nice one

As Vocky says replace the rubber o-ring. I thought one of the two sealing rings was leaking but after replacing the rubber o-ring I have no leaks. The old one felt very hard compaired to the new one it may have been original 😳 as the whole assembly used to come apart.

I did the same. Although the seal with the new filter was too big so cut a little section out and superglued the joint. Spot on now.

Sorry to hijack - where's the best place to get a filter with the o ring these days?

[oakmere]

The o-ring only available separate I think as the ones that come with filters are too big for the vx220.
