part # PF454



I'm losing all my oil threw this oil filter...WTF IS GOING ON??...Ive never had this problem before with an oil change or with any other filter, I lubed the ring before putting it on, and I hand tightened it...My oil is still pouring out of this [EDIT]...Ive tried adjusting it multiple times, tighter or looser it is still coming out!!


soemone help!!! Mobil 1 isnt cheap!

Moderator note: Do not "test" the language filter.

 

Are you certain that you didn't leave a gasket from the old filter on? Probably not, but I remember doing that once. The new filter wouldn't seal with the old gasket on it. Just a thought.

 

And...throw in some good ole dino juice 10W-40. The price is right and the record is proven. JMHO

 

Could be a bad filter. Just take it back and replace it. I've used 20 or 30 of those 454s and they're great. I use the 1218 (the longer one, i think thats the #) now.

 

Even a little chunk of the old filter on there will cause a major leak.

may be a worped filter put a new one on i have only see this a happen a few times but could vary well be your proublem

 

I've had the old O ring from a filter stick on there before, check it out.

 

I'm guessing it is an old gasket still being on.

I've never had any problems with Delco filters and there isn't really another way for the filter to be leaking unless it had a hole in it.

 

Is the oil pressure sensor just above the oil filter???


CUZ YEAH.... ITs SNAPPED OFF

 

On my 97 the oil pressure sending unit is right at the back of the intake manifold, Im guessing its the same on 94's but there is a pipe plug right above the oil filter adapter ( for a manual oil pressure gauge) but how could that plug could have backed out all of a sudden???

 

CHECK THE FACTORY OIL cooler. its inbetween the oil filter and the block. bolts may be loose. mine 94 formula leaked back there after an oil change. then i tightened the oil cooler and the leak was gone.

 

Did you check the part # on the filter or the box? My buddy had the wrong filter in the right box on a Fram, leaked like crazy.

 

1993s and early 1994s have the oil pressure sensor above the oil filter.

 

mine broke off..which means a piece of it is still in there
