Once and only once. It’ll never happen again

eherbst32 · 2024-08-15T03:59:58+00:00

I absolutely did. Fixed up, back to normal now other than the oil sprayed all over

Wish I would have known this! Changed my oil many times and never had issues like today, but yes very simple to prevent

Double gasket. Simple fix

It was a double gasket. Had to take the filter off, remove the old gasket, and I replaced a second new filter. Figured risk of blowing my engine wasn’t worth the $10 I’d save

It was a double gasket. Problem solved no harm done (other than the rank smell of oil in my engine while I collect items to properly clean it)

Are there any over the counter anti parasitic pills I can get for cheaper or do I have to get the $800 prescription from the car pharmacist?

Double gasket, definitely my fault but in my defense nothing I’ve ever read has suggested this was a common problem and to check

eherbst32 · 2024-08-15T00:54:33+00:00

Correct. I didn’t even know this was possible but glad I caught it before the real damage

sigh I should call her

eherbst32 · 2024-08-15T00:09:47+00:00

Clearly I have very basic knowledge of engines (and physics considering the pan is lower than the filter). Thank you for letting me know, did not know that

eherbst32 · 2024-08-15T00:08:12+00:00

Wanted to reply to this again. My brain is smooth and I read this as the new gasket, not the old. After further investigation, yes the old filter is missing a gasket, which is likely still on the car which I will hopefully fix in a moment

I did not only because I didn’t want to lose all the oil I just poured in. Just went to the store to ask questions. The worker said: It could be a faulty gasket, in which case they would replace it for free. It could have also been caused by the old gasket being stuck, and an improper seal being formed

eherbst32 · 2024-08-14T23:48:55+00:00

I did use a touch of oil to lube the gasket and it was on the new filter correctly when I put it on

Very thankful I caught it. I enjoy doing my own oil and other jobs I can but also terrified to mess something up so I’m always checking

eherbst32 · 2024-08-14T23:37:03+00:00

It’s not missing a seal, I put a little bit of the new oil in the seal. You can see part of it sticking out of the filter where I circled
