I did a 50 hour oil change on my T1510. After the change I noticed that the oil filter was leaking. The filter was marked 'tighten 1 1/2 turns after seal contact.' This is what I did. Upon starting the engine, the filter has a steady drip. So I attempted to tighten it down more and the leak got worse. I had bought 2 oil filters so I drained the oil again and this time put on the second filter. In my T1510 manual, it states ' tighten 3/4 turn after seal contact. So this time I only tightened 3/4 turn. The oil is still leaking out of the second new oil filter, worse than the first. I drained the oil again and took off the filter. I'm looking at the seal and holding it up to the engine and it does not seem like a big enough diameter to cover the cutout in the engine block. Makes sense to me why it is leaking. I had thrown out the filter that came with the tractor new, so I can't compare what was on the tractor when I purchased it. I got the new filters from the New Holland dealer and they were part number 84475542. This is the part number that I see on many sites for this tractor. Has anyone else had issues seating in an oil filter so that it does not leak?
