No, this is not another oil thread. Ssshhhh, I won't mention any brands.
However, I changed my oil and filter the day I got my car. With the oil filter there were 2 washers included. When I changed mine there were no washers installed. So, I did not install mine. What is the purpose of the washers. I looked up the parts and I think I see how to install them. I have service records and all work was done at a very good local indy shop. The PO was a 10,000 mile oil guy, sorry but I am stuck with 3 months or 3k miles. I know it is probrably over-kill, but oil and filters are soooo much cheaper than any engine work. Just because I am paranoid doesn't mean that Murphy's Law won't bite me on the a**!
