thanks for the reply, I just did the oil change and have only started it twice for about 30 seconds each. zero oil leaks as of now. If I did put a gasket on, it was the new one that came with the filter.
If I unscrew the plastic filter cover won't oil come shooting out? at $5.5 a quart I would rather not waste it.
After thought, could I put the gasket on from the bottom and roll it up to the top and unscrew the housing just a little? The gasket is rubber and stretches. Anythoughts on this?
