Hi,

One point comes to mind. When doing your Oil Change, be sure to replace the Filter Housing (w/ new 'O' Ring) by Hand, do not use the Filter Wrench. The Torque Spec for this part is 18.5 ft. lbs., easily achievable by Hand Tightening. There is no reason to overtighten this Cannister, and in fact if you do you run the risk of skewing or tearing the 'O' Ring which will then create a leak. Hand tightening is sufficient and insures the Cannister will be easily removable the next time. Hope this helps...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
