Mike, When you replace the filter element, did you notice that the
spring and the large sheet metal washer was still in the oil filter
container. Be advised that with out that spring and washer, all the oil
will bypass the filter and will return without being cleaned???!! There
is also a seal at the top hole, so it might be damaged as well.
