Re: What a dumb ***
It probably hasn't happen to us because we wipe the filter base
making sure no dirt will get sucked in, and lube the "O" ring as per
instructions.

Re: What a dumb ***
I don't know how lubing the O-ring on the new filter would prevent not
seeing an existing O-Ring still attached to the "filter jack" or whatever
it's called. You're looking at a new filter totally detached and away from
the engine. Unless by oiling the new filter O-Ring it consciously brings
your attention to the old filter O-Ring making sure the old one comes off.
That I buy. Also, if there's any dirt around the engine and filter it would
seem a wipe down would be in order before you take the old one off
preventing any dirt to fall down into the "filter jack". At that point why
would there be any dirt on the "filter jack" if I'm understanding what your
saying below. Still room for error here.
Maybe if you said you thoroughly inspect the old filter and new filter each
time you change one out making sure they were complete and in order. That
would be a better "Filter changing procedure" outline in my mind.
That would certainly be my advice from here out.

Re: What a dumb ***
A lube "O" ring would allow it to spin off with the filter. "Before
you thread the new oil filter in place, dip a finger into the drain pan
and coat the rubber gasket on the bottom of the filter with oil, and set
it aside. This will help it seat better against the engine block. With a
clean rag, wipe off the round metal circle on the engine where the oil
filter fits, then thread the new filter onto the post."

you thread the new oil filter in place, dip a finger into the drain pan
and coat the rubber gasket on the bottom of the filter with oil, and set
it aside. This will help it seat better against the engine block. With a
clean rag, wipe off the round metal circle on the engine where the oil
filter fits, then thread the new filter onto the post."
