Who's Oil Filter is NOT leaking?

[raiderjatt02]

4500 miles, 2 oil changes (done by myself), 2 track days, 2 autocross days and not a single drop missing.

knock on wood.....no leaks on mine. Just about to do my second oil change over the winter.

The thread title should be - Who doesn't know how to do an oil change? The filter is not the issue, it's the people who refuse to follow instructions and torque the filter to spec. One thing about the GT350 - you get to deal with Ford Focus service standards - I dread going to the dealer.

I'm strangely happy that my filter issue appears to be a rare issue.

Thanks again everyone.

 

[GT 350]

No leaks on mine.

No leaks here too. To be honest, it's the drain plug I'm keeping an eye on. No issues there either, but if I had any, I thought that would've been the culprit.

My was dripping slightly straight from the factory...and it would of been installed by the pros who assembled my engine!

After a lifetime of bolts and crush washers, the plug is a . . . revelation.

Same here. I'm making it routine that I change to a new drain plug with every oil change. They are only a couple of dollars each so its a cheap insurance.

no leaks here, anyone know where the filter is located?

On 4th oil change...no leaks and very little oil consumption between changes

 

[Voodooo]

Maybe we should include the last 8 digits of the vin and the dash production number. If for example the early model voodoos had more oil consumption that would point to a problem. Or is it wide spread.
My vin is G5520390
Chassis is G0413

Mine is a 2015...go345

Mine is a 2015...go345

With all do respect. Yours can't be a 2015. It's a 2016. G = 2016 345 would be the 345th one made for 2016. They only made 137 in 2015. And all of those would be F

I stand corrected...i took delivery in 2015 but it is 2016 - still not leaking
