The rubber gasket has a tendency of coming apart from the filter. I purchased FRAM doubleguard brand when I replaced the oil on my Toyota Sequoia. Upon starting the truck, I discovered that I was leaking oil on the driveway. The leak was not noticeable until I started the vehicle. If you folks are going to continue using FRAM filters, ensure to check for leaks. I purchased a FUMOTO valve from Fumotovalve.com ($20.00). It made the process of changing oil easy also on my case I don't have to drain all the oil to replaced the oil filter.
