Hi all,

My 2005 M620 is leaking oil from the oil filter when it's cold. Once the bike heats up, the leaks stops. What this means is that every time I start the bike, it'll leak a tablespoon or two of oil until the oil gets up to temperature. I read a bunch of threads here that say the first thing I should do is really tighten the filter.

I don't want to buy a special wrench since I'll be replacing the current filter with a K&N one next month for my scheduled oil change and those have a standard nut welded on them.

I was wondering if anyone in the NYC area has such a wrench that I can use to tighten the OEM filter? I would greatly appreciate the help.

Thanks!

If you come by early tomorrow, if not, end of next week.

Thanks Howie. No leaks since!

Great

if howie is too far away, im on the other end of new york (brooklyn) glad to help if you are near my side! unless you mean you already did it!

Thanks He Man! Brooklyn is much closer (I go to school there) but I promptly rode up to Howie's and he helped me out. 

 

This is a bit late to the party, but be sure to lube the o-ring before tightening to ensure a proper seal.

The filter was installed by a (snicker snicker) "qualified dealer''.

qualified to give you a pain in the ass.
