[QUOTE="Johnny O, post: 972849, member: 61743"] Couple weeks ago (I think I posted it here) I was changing oil on my wife's Taurus and I use the filter wrench to snug the filter down because it's hard to grip it tight enough with your hand. The filter wrench arced on the starter and burned a hole in the filter but I had no way of knowing until I started it up. It ran just long enough to get down the ramps and for me to see a mess. Took 4 quarts to fill it back up. Bud of mine back in high school many years ago had the filter gasket thing happen to him. He told me about it and ever since I've always checked the old filter to make sure the gasket came off. A few years ago I did have one that didn't come off but I caught it. [/QUOTE]
