No, the impact wrench is for removing the first oil filter that was installed at the factory....

I think they locktite them on.......

 

They send 'em to Jiffy Lube and I belive the torque spec is 1.5 turns after you get it as tight as you can with both hands!

 

As for the 1.125 socket, when I first started out, it was recommended to make it a six pointer, not a twelve...

 

Yeah, I don't think the plastic fitting likes a 12 point anything

 

I use a 6 point 1/2" drive 1.125 socket on a short 1/2" drive break over bar,,,,

always start the cap by by hand

use liberal amounts of white lithium tube grease on the o-ring,,
Run the baldwin 5 micron fliters, change it every oil change,,,, ahead of the GDP/CP3

overkill??? probably!!!!

 

How about a crecent wrench and a little KY, seems to slip right in there. Merry Xmas
