Re: [FWDLK] canister old filter

[Ray Jones <hurst300@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I learned early in my career to dip my finger in some oil and wipe it 
around the seat area on the block with spin-on oil filters. This does 
two things, lubes the seal so the filter will tighten nicely and makes 
sure the old rubber seal came off with the filter. I can't tell you how 
many filters I've removed and found 2 seals. Many came in after 1-2 
thousand miles with a bad oil leak where the seal blew out.

bunching up.  Outside of a messy finger, this has worked without fail 
for me
for 30+ years.
