Oil change woes

[Wellbs]

Hi all,

Bought my 2nd 182 last weekend belts done about 20k ago ect good service history. I wanted to change the oil for piece of mind so bought Elf 5-40. Just changed the oil but couldnt get the filter off with the tool that I have (i know ) Going to my brother's garage Monday as he has a better tool. Topped the new oil back up, checked the levels ect, but now the car makes a really loud tapping sound and a stop light flashed on the dash on the 5 mile drive home? Car was warmed up prior to driving back. I'm not mechanically minded at all so woukd really appreciate any help!

So you didn't change the filter?
You did refit the sump plug before filling up with new oil right?

 

[Wellbs]

No I couldn't get it off with oil filter plyers! Yeah sump plug went back in with the new washer and i havent leaked any oil on the drive home. Waiting for it too cool down and i'll check the levels again.

Try your washer jets and see if any Oil comes out.

You sure you filled the engine back up and not the screenwash?
Knocking isn't good

 

[Wellbs]

Haha i may not be a mechanic but i'm that bad!

I couldnt get it off with plier things either.. ended up ripping an injector wire!

 

[Wellbs]

If it helps there is now oil in the vacum line off of the air box there wasnt before. At the same time i cleaned the air filter with a k and n kit following their instructions.

 

[Wellbs]

I'm worried i might of knocked a sensor by the oil filter is there something there that might cause a tapping?

 

[Wellbs]

Does anybody use a thickner for the oil? Put the recommnded elf 5-40 in it

Sorry to bombard the thread. Throttle body wines when ignition is turned on, changes pitch when pressure is applied to the throttle body valve and doesnt stop could this be it?

 

[Wellbs]

Also moves when ignition is turned off or on

 

[Louis]

Throttle body whine is normal and thats the correct oil. You did fill it up all the way, right?

 

[Wellbs]

Yeah was two thirds up between the markers. Should the wine carry on for the entire time the ignition is turned on? I thought it usually goes off after a few seconds?

 

[Louis]

Mines always there IIRC. Can hear it with the engine running if you really shove your head in.

 

[Wellbs]

Ok cheers!

I just don't understand why its running like a turd all of a sudden!

Totally normal for throttle body to whine.

Have broken/disconnected the knock sensor?

Do you think that would create the tapping noise?

 

[leeds2592]

Just for future reference, you can knock a screwdriver into the filter and tap it round to get it off. It's just a bit messy. Then just put the new filter on as tight as you can by hand, doesn't need to be mega tight.

Could be pinking/knocking if it puts the spark timing out.
