Thread: Oil filter soaking.

How long do you soak yours?

Just wondering how long to do it?

Half way through an oil and filter change and not sure as this is the first time.

Only used it twice so wanting it done before the weekend to get out:-)

Thanks Marc

just a quick dunk then slap it in the bike !

i just pour some new oil into the filter and wait till it comes out the sides,then put it in the bike,never had any problems with mine

Oh i thought how people say to soak it it means like overnight.

no just dont put it in dry !! (she squeeled)

I do on the trials bike. Well i put it in a plastic bag with the oil. massage it in. Take it out and leave it on some clean paper. Have my tea. Then dab it with some clean paper and put it back in. Mine is sat on the rad behind me drying as i type this. This video is also very good.

thats air filter mate,

what i used to do was sit the bike on its side and fill the filter housing and then pop the filter into that, then top up to the mark and fit cap job sorted.

Ah cool. Its soaking as we speak. Tomorrow is another day as the garage has no lights and its getting cold :-(
