Reply to "Oil filer leak"

With the new filter gasket oiled and the engine block flange checked for the old gasket, the ONLY other thing I can think of is if somehow the male threaded fitting in the block has somehow come loose.

Many owners have abandoned Fram filters in recent years in favor of Wix. They are likely still the maker of the NAPA gold filters.

In buying Wix filters, do NOT opt for the 51515R filters. They have a 61 micron screen versus the 21 in the standard 51515. Better flowing, but the R version is intended for race applications with very regular oil changes.

eBay or Amazon will likely be your cheapest source, whatever filter you are using, when you buy them by the case.
