  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Which way does the oil filter go on my Husqvarna 310

Sorry to be stupid, but I was just changing the oil on my 310 that I have just bought and found the ex Husky dealer has sold me the wrong oil filter. Unfortunately I was cheesed off I picked up the old one I put down and forgot to remember which way it sits!! I am going back to the dealer tomorrow to get the correct one but wondered if anyone can point me in the right direction to the way it should go in as it does not show on the manual! I don't know if the oil is pushed from the head through the filter and then seep into the crank case passing the metal wavey washer. I am supposing it has to go this way.....
 
I'll move this over to the 4st forum where it will get the attention it deserves...

Dealers Kudos Europe -> 4st.
 
What year is it? The 2012s take a kn 116 or high flow 116 (same as Honda crf450x) the gasket goes to the outside and fits onto the oil filter cover with the wave spring on the motor side behind the filter
 
I have noticed that it can be put in either way and was wondering if that is why some of the TC250's are blowing up.
 
Sort of a stupid question but what exactly occurs if you were to install the Oil Filter wrong (backwards)?

When my relatively new engine seized, I was told by the mechanic who tore down the engine that the Oil Filter was on wrong (I didn't install the oil filter :thumbsdown:) - I had to get a new oil pump, among other parts.

Does the oil still get circulated but doesn't filter out any shrapnel/junk? Or does it completely starve the engine...?

I'm guessing the shrapnel/junk didn't get filtered, and jammed the oil pump, then oil wasn't being circulated.. and kabloomey, rest is history.

Damn, IIRC it's exactly the other way on an 08. Can someone confirm?

This is correct. I just did an oil change on my '11 TE310 and paid careful attention to what was where when I popped the cover off.

The above picture is spot on I change the oil/filter all the time on my 310 2011 and this is exactly how it goes.There is alittle rubber gasket washer as part of the filter that you push onto the oil feed tube on the cover. MAke sure you dont forget the wave washer.
 
My previous bike was a Honda CRF450R and fortunately I forgot to give the guy I sold it to all of the oil filters (including a stainless steel filter) ..... because they fit perfectly in my Husky 310.
