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?
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.
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.
JMO!
