Message:: [QUOTE="BoxCarKidd, post: 4959199, member: 151415"]I was with Scuba intell I had problems with S60 filters leaking that way. Hand tight for the ex-football player, (300 lbs +) and the ex marine ( 165? lbs ) is not the same even though they were equally tough. OZ if you have done it your way for 20 years do not change. My big problems with the contact plus are 1st: Is who and how is  contact being judged?  2nd: A lot of the equipment here you have to look over the top of the frame to see the marks but have to be below to turn the filter. 3rd: Then how does one instruct an employee to go out in the field and do that alone?  Policy here is check oil PSI gauges and lights before service.Wipe the filter base off to be sure it is clean and the old gasket is not stuck to the housing. Oil the gasket and fill the filter at least 1/2 full in less it is horizontal ( full flow only, no need to fill by-pass filter).  Use a band type wrench that a 1/2" drive  fits. Only turn by hand which is slightly tighter than hand tight for a normal person.  Start it be sure it has pressure  and after some time run the engine to max RPM. If there is some problem I want to see it before it leaves. When one was tightened up by a moron we started looking at records and asking the moron to remove it. I did learn something from a moron, when the wrench is crushing the filter put one wrench at the top of the filter and one at the bottom.[/QUOTE]
