[@dustygold3032]

Thanks for the reminder Scotty. This happened to me and will always double check before putting the new one on. Also, used one of those plier oil removal tool and little did I know when tightening the new filter on I punctured a hole. An area that collapsed during tightening. I wouldn’t advise using this tool when replacing new filter, only use to remove stubborn oil filters.

[@PS-rr2jt]

I always wipe the oil off the flange before installing the new filter, keeps things clean and lets me check to see if the old gasket is stuck to it.

[@Icantfindtheanykey]

I do the same to make sure bits of the old gasket doesnt interfere with the seal of the new gasket on the mating surface. Gaskets keep getting thinner.

I do this, not so much for the gasket, but to clean all the crud off of the engine around the filter, plus the drips and leaks I don't like baked engine oil smoking at me. It also keeps anything that might compromise the gasket _gone_.

[@ronaldnorris2179]

Same here 👍

[@lobster6416]

A good way to make sure you never double gasket is to wipe off the area the filter came off of. Cleans the muck from any old oil off and you'll catch the gasket if it stuck to it.

[@isaacpierrelouis8167]

Changed the oil in my wife's car earlier this year and this literally happened to me. It's a good thing I always turn on the car after every job and have a look around to make sure all is well, that's when I noticed the oil spilling underneath. Turned it off immediately and no damage was done. Had I not checked and she went work with it the following day, she could have blown the engine.

I was ignorant to the possibility of double-gasketing until it happened to me. Luckily I always do a test crank (for checking final fluid level) and was taught by my father to always watch for leaks at the oil plug & filter in case they arent tightened down fully. Still had a huge mess and wasted at least $10 worth of oil, but there was no engine damage and now I instinctively put a hand on the filter mount and put eyes on the old filter o-ring. Trial by fire is one of my best teachers.

[@steveignatz9922]

I was a teenager working in a garage after school in the 1970’s and “double-gasketed” one car. It was a 1966 Pontiac with a 389, I believe, that held six quarts of oil plus one more with the filter. I poured all that oil in and checked the dipstick and couldn’t see any oil, so, I added an eighth quart. When that didn’t show up, I looked under the car to see eight quarts of Mobil 1 on the floor and running into the drain. Mobil 1 was new at the time and very expensive (I think it was around $3/quart compared to about $.50 for regular oil). Nonetheless, I learned the importance of wiping the metal where the gasket seats in order to make sure the new filter seats properly. The owner of the garage, a great guy, didn’t make me pay for the oil. I learned so much by working at that garage including how to deal with people and problem solving in addition to how to do my own repairs - skills that are invaluable throughout life. Young people would be well-served to work around cars with knowledgeable people.

[@supersnot4]

Oil change tips for people who care about their engines: 1. Don't double-gasket 2. Pre-fill the filter as much as possible (sometimes not possible) 3. Buy a quality filter (Wix, Motorcraft, Napa Gold, etc) 4. Light layer of oil on the new gasket 5. Use good oil (Valvoline, Motorcraft, Napa, etc) 6. Use Full Synthetic or Synthetic Blend. There is no reason to ever use conventional oil.

[@solrac9181]

Why prefill the filter I never do that

[@rickybroussard5350]

[@BlueDroneBlues]

I thought Scotty was going to also tell you to use a dab of oil and run it on the top of the rubber ring so it will not only keep a good seal, but it will also help the seal from possibly sticking to the bottom of the engine. Scotty is so good!

[@korencek]

My german car would show on the display: "your engine oil filter is double gasketed, please have the vehicle checked by technician".

It's also a good practice to wipe the engine gasket seat with a rag. Then you not only have a clean gasket surface but you'd also notice if there was a gasket stuck on there.

[@drizler]

Damned right! Sometimes some gunk gets knocked loose from above when you are tinkering about under there trying to get the old filter can out. You sure don’t want that either getting in the filter or underneath the ceiling ring!

[@BigALdeek]

Totally needed to hear this. About to do this and didn’t think about making sure the old rings come off. I’m worried about the torquing part

[@johnstraley9057]

In doing countless oil changes for years on my own vehicles, THE one and ONLY time I failed to wipe down the filter mounting surface on the engine, is when the old gasket was stuck on and resulted in double gasketing. The car sat in the driveway until the next morning. Heading out in the morning I glanced back in the rear view mirror and noticed a dark line or stream trailing from the car. Stopping to investigate and peering under the car I notice oil pouring out around the new filter. Lesson learned - there are no short cuts in doing a proper job. Take your time and do it right.

[@coderedx3]

Personally never seen this happen before on any of my vehicles. But, I also make sure to lube the oil seal on filter with oil before installing.

[@coderedx3]

Also using a quality filter also probably makes this less likely to happen

[@patricknesbit2334]

Yup! Did this when I changed the filter on my parents riding mower. As soon as I started it I noticed oil leaking on the ground. I immediately turned it off. I pulled the filter and sure enough the old gasket was stuck to the engine. Took it off, reinstalled the filter, toped of the oil and everything worked just fine.

[@jackollila1915]

Luckily I noticed the bottom of the oil filter broke off on my wifes 2015 Equinox! Some filters do not fit right and they break! This is a cartridge filter too! Im SO glad I didnt start it up and looked at it beforehand!

[@tynewlin]

I see this about 5% of the time I'm doing an oil change service, likely due to the installer cleaning off the mounting surface but *not* applying oil to the new gasket. Done thousands of oil changes and not once have I had one of my filters leave the gasket behind upon removal. Also helps if you don't overtighten the ever loving crap out of the new filter. Some of them I could swear were installed by a competition bodybuilder.

[@Ben-wr7my]

I worked at jiffy lube for a minute. What you're supposed to do is lubricate the gasket on the new filter with oil so it's 1.) Easier to get off the next time and 2.) Doesn't stick to the mounting plate. Jiffy lube may suck but I learned alot at that job

[@randywhite8654]

This is correct...also dont buy stp or cheap filters that have foam gaskets but quality ones that have fixed rubber o-rings, k&n bosch mobil

[@kurtsherrick2066]

I always put a skim of oil on the Filter. It helps it seal and keeps the gasket from sticking. All you have to do is make sure the old filter has the gasket on it. If you can get your hand on the old filter you should be able to twist it off. Read the directions on the Filter Box. Never ever tightened the new filter to tight. If you can't twist it off with your hand the filter was put on to tight. That is again if you can get your hand on the filter. If you have to use a filter wrench it is easy to over tighten the filter.

I think most, if not all, DIY car mechanics do this once, with varying results. I know I did it once on my family's old Mazda 6. I changed the oil and ran the car to check for leaks and holy cow was there one! Oil just came spewing out onto the garage floor! I immediately jumped into the car and shut off the engine. I don't think there was any permanent damage, but the car obviously didn't like it. In my defense (?), I had so much trouble changing the oil that one time. The filter was under the car, and someone had overtightened it real good. I couldn't get it off. I had to hammer a long screw driver through it and use that to get the filter to turn. After that, the gasket was stuck on and couldn't see it. Moral of the story: ALWAYS check the old filter to see if the gasket is on it. If not, immediately check to see if it's still on the engine.

[@dpok69]

Had that happened when I changed the oil on my back then brandnew 2004 Hyundai Elantra for its 1st oil change. The original oil filter was on very tight and gave me a little fight to take off. I did not notice that the gasket did not come off, and put on the new oil filter. Funny thing is I did some local driving on the weekend and the oil did not leak. On Monday, when I took it to work on the highway I noticed the oil light come on and smoke billowing from the back of the car. Luckily, I was able to pull into a gas station right away. I put more oil in the engine, and the oil just came right back to the ground. The gas attendant commented he seen that happen with double gasketing, and thats when I realized what happened. I had a pipe wrench in my trunk which I used to correct the issue on the spot. That car is still running today with 140k miles on its third owner.

So true, it is a good idea to compare both the old and the new filter side by side that way if the gasket is missing from either one you’ll spot it immediately(hopefully).

I can't imagine how anyone could do that. I've ALWAYS cleaned the surface the new filter sealed to. Same thing with the drain plug.
