Default Update - Oil Filter Housing

Hey Guys - Both of you were right -

Per IPD video: The filter must be pushed firmly into the housing. It will "snap" in when pushed firmly. The filter has a foam material on the sealing surface. If it isn't tight, it won't seal and will allow dirty oil to get past the filter.

FWIW - to make the above fix, I only removed the filter and only about 1/2 quart / maybe less came out of the engine. Hence, it was both an easy fix and only lost a small amount of oil.

Thanks for your comments.
