  1. I have ran across this in my life time of car repairs what happens is somtimes when you unscew the old filter the "O" ring comes off the filter and sticks to the engine block so when you put the new filter on you now have two "O"s you have to remember to avoid this is to wipe the oil filter base clean then you would see if an "O" is stuck to the filter base.
