Another Filter Question
Here a couple months ago i lost my lil 3.8L ford in my mustang. After lookin around i seen that the oil filter o ring blew out ran her out of oil in a heart beat and so on. I had a WIX on there. Later that day i bought some cheap oil and a filter and fired it back up. Made some nasty noises haha but it didnt take 5 seconds befor i had a puddle of oil on the ground. Pulled the filter off same thing blew the o ring out.What could have happened to cause it to be pushin out the oil filter o rings?

<----This one pegs the gauge(100+psi) at wot. It doesn't leak or blow past the o-ring. I don't think it's pressure alone. If you're getting the filter on too tight, it will tho'. My Filter bypass is blocked, so all oil goes thru the filter.
