Before I quit my last job I over tightened every single filter I touched and over tightened the drain plugs

I personally like to put them on dry and as tight as possible.

Yeah I hand tighten those and I work at a Valvoline. They can fire me if they want I’m not going to over tighten a filter. Not my fault those corporate money hungry suits have no idea how to run a lube shop.

Valvoline literally teaches you to use a tool to tighten them down and that’s why it’s always over tightened

the valvoline i worked at required techs to use tools to tighten filters. there were cameras in the pit, and the double check where someone has to SEE you put a tool on it. if you are seen hand tightening it and not using a tool, it could be a write up. and they discouraged the use of bandwrenches unless we couldn't get another tool on it.

As far as that goes, the Toyota and Chrysler filter cups only need to be hand tight, the tool is only for removal.

It’s crazy how often I’ve seen a dry gasket, over tightened filter, and ON THE SAME CAR, drain plug you could breathe on and break loose.

They make you tighten them with a wrench on camera, or else if there’s an issue with the filter the customer comes back, files a claim, then you’re fired. When I was there, I didn’t care, not loosing my job so a mechanic can have a nice easy little oil filter to take off. It’s not a big deal, now I’m the one taking them off, nothings impossible when it comes to getting it off

Ngl it’s part of the process but the ppl who make the process have never been under a car before so they sit there and expect u to use a wrench every time I just hand tighten them tho plus we still have to take our filters off too so u can imagine how annoying that is for us

I agree 10000% they should not use a band wrench but sadly that is their company policy
