What if FARMING Goes Wrong!

What happens here

The presenter retrieves the new 25-micron hydraulic filter, pre-fills it with fresh hydraulic oil, lubricates its seal, and then threads it into place, tightening it snugly with a wrench. He repeats this process for the new 10-micron hydraulic filter. He then prepares the new Napa Gold engine oil filter by lubricating its gasket with fresh engine oil and installing it. He notes that the engine oil filter has many threads, making it a longer process to hand-tighten, and eventually uses a wrench to ensure it's properly secured. He stresses the importance of only hand-tightening, followed by a slight turn with a wrench if necessary, to avoid overtightening.

Goal: Install new filters and prepare systems for refilling fluids.
