Oil change - rookie mistake or just a fluke

Ditto about "lubricating" the new o-ring before screwing the filter housing on. If it is not lubed, it will bind-up while you're tightening it causing the ring to stretch and possibly break.

I'm looking forward to eliminating the OEM filter and housing. I have my LN billet adapter, Mobil 1 high performance can filter and a case of Royal Purple 5W40 waiting to go.

I had the o-ring next to the flange - moved it up one groove and screwed it back in - and no more leak. Lost maybe 1/2 qt taking off the oil filter. Not nearly as bad as I thought.

As often is the case - the first time was for practice.
