Hi All,
Just changed the oil. I switched from conventional to high millage synthetic. Started after oil change and let run a min. then shut off to confirm oil level. No leaks.
Started car next day and let run in the driveway for a minute, I backed out I stopped to put away the tarp I used to protect the driveway when changing oil and I looked under and there was a large puddle of new oil. I did not see any coolant. I did have a hard time changing the new oil filter. I place a plastic grocery bag over the filter to catch the oil. This has worked great and kept oil from spilling down the side of motor and frame. This time I put it too tight to the block and it got bound up from spinning off filter.
What are the odds of the adaptor gasket going right after changing and with no coolant present? Any one ever have a defective filter? I hand tight and then one full turn after.
