[QUOTE="John Zuber, post: 972844, member: 59842"] Making sure the old gasket is gone, since the system is under pressure when operating, is required. If you look at a new filter, you will see that only part of the gasket is sticking out. The other part is within a flange of the filter, preventing that gasket from expanding or moving out of place. Having the old gasket still in place allows that gasket to expand or contort, allowing instant leak and possible total loss of oil. [/QUOTE]
