Interesting...so you guys don't clean the mating surfaces prior to installing the new filter???
The first thing I was taught when I was about 16. |

I did that trick when I was a first year apprentice years ago. After a reaming from the Foreman I never did that again!

I got caught a month ago though, changed the oil in my neighbours VS, he asked me to get the filter and oil for him so off i went. Came back with 5lts of nulon oil= $35, and a Z145, i needed a Z154  : .Put it on, filled it with oil, spewed it all over the driveway..not happy Jan!! Turns out the seal diameter is smaller on the Z145 and is to suit a Skyline. |

Also... beware of overtightening them, can make the seal distort & leak. Tighter does not mean better. |
