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?

Too much oil pressure maybe??

Bypass valve stuck open in oil pump, sludge build up :!: :!:

sidin with mpoar on this one. also im sure you know how to put a filter on but ive seen it bunches of times and by guys who know what their doing. tightening then too tight?

<----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.

the By pass is 1st thought..i see your from WI...very cold up there now...what weight oil do you use ?..i think your following what i am saying here

I would think if the bypass were stuck open it would not build pressure that high. Maybe stuck closed?

Did you check to make sure the old "O" ring was completely removed?

I agree with fla1976 on this...those O-rings are recessed in a groove in the filter. In order to "blow" one out it would have to be double stacked.
