Huge mistake!!!

[bankswood]

got to be one of three things and none are excusable

1) do not over tigten the filter. It will bind and leak

2) do not under tighten or it will leak.

3) Most important of all. check to make sure the old oil filter gasket came off with the filter. If you put a new filter on and have two gaskets on it will either leak like a sieve or completely blow off.

If number 3 is the case you are very lucky you didn't blow the engine. Or maybe unlucky because the dealership would have to replace the engine.

Oh, and i had a coolant leak coming from a dry rotted water pump gasket. But i just replaced the pump also while it was off./ But they did forget to take the old oil filter gasket off the block. So (bankswood) Kudos to ya bro.

Don't you love it? Not even a simple task like an oil change is done properly anymore nowadays.

My Hoe has been a champ, so i guess a little routine maintenance doesn't hurt.

I've done that once, was in a hurry and didn't check to make sure the gasket came off with the filter!! Made a pretty good mess!!
