Anyone ever had to burp the oil filter after doing an oil & Filter change?
The large steam and gas turbines I work with also have vents on the oil filter housings, but I have never seen one on a car or bike oil filter. I guess they just don't need it as the filter holds so little oil, or air until it is filled.No it was a bike I had owned from new and kept for three years. It was actually a friend in the dealership I bought the bike from who was the workshop manager said to me are you aware of this procedure.
I spent my working life as a marine engineer and on large diesels you will find a vent plug at the top of the filter. So perhaps we just all assume that a nano second will solve the trapped air in a filter body.
Seeing as the filter is in the horizontal and filling the filter body with oil is not feasible I will continue to BURP the filter, each to there own.
