It's amazing that the filter element is the same size as something you'd find on the engine of a large car or truck. With the sheer size of that engine, I'd have expected the oil filter element to be the size of a pool filter cartridge!
Well think about it, its a dry sump system and the only things that need oil in a turbine are the bearings for the shafts so in general they dont need huge amounts of oil - just shit tons of jet fuel
Holey crap. Separate bolts AND nuts?? Talk about an easy to lose part on a dark cold ramp. Why not just thread the holes in the body to accept the bolts?? And why not just design the damn thing from the git-go so that it CANNOT be assembled incorrectly?? The aviation group must have some guys they brought over from the old nuclear side of the company. I had a license to operate a BWR-6.....and I was in Machinery Division on a boomer. I know of what I speak.
Thanks bro the 777 in my garage needed a replacement I didn't know how to do it myself

Hi Mike Masters, how to differentiate o-rings,preformed packings and gasket seals. As all of them looks similar.
Thanks
part numbers on the bags, also its recommended to compare the new with the old.
I'm not with GE anymore, that's why they are editing all of these videos....to disappear me! lol
Great video
Thanks you👍😁
For best performance after replacing filter element, remember to add fresh oil to engine. Or don't.
Thank you 🙂....
an engineer must decide what get safety wire and what doesnt? seems like an item that can not fail 🤔
If lock wire is needed or not it's something that is clearly mentioned in the AMM(Aircraft Maintenance Manual).
