Now I only use Hastings filters, or OEM. I wipe down the mounting plate as a confirmation that I checked and found nothing adhered to the plate. That was almost an expensive lesson to learn!  |
Hey, I did almost the same with the Fram filter (back when I used them) I backed the car out of the garage to put the jack, etc, away and noticed a HUGE pool of oil under the car.....the old gasket was stuck on the car so the new filter wasn't seated....
POS Fram filters! (I also double-check that, now, with ANY filter)
