In the process of changing my 8N oil filter, I noticed some dirty oil in the bottom of the oil filter canister. Does this oil need to be removed when changing the filter? Is there a special technique for removing the oil filter canister in order to clean it out?

Although I guess it isn't present on all the Fram type filters on N's, mine has a small pipe plug, maybe 3/16", on the bottom of the can which makes it easy to drain the gunk after removing the filter element and rinsing it out. Yours may not have it. FWIW

The original owners manual suggested pouring a cup of kerosene into the can and swirling it around to collect this gunk. The oil passages are about 1/3 of the way up the center standpipe, so as long as you keep the kerosene below that level, it won't get into the oil and dilute it.

I just swab the thing out with a rag and mineral spirits. If you remove it (undo the two oil unions, remove the two bolts which hold the bracket to the side of the motor) you can wash the whole thing out, including the standpipe, with a solvent and compressed air.

llater,
