Hey Guys,
yesterday I was swapping out the oil and filter on a 2001 Camry from Castrol Syntec 5W30 to QSUD 5W30. The Filters were swapped from a Purolator to a MANN ML1009.
The first MANN ML1009 filter I used was rather difficult to twist in. In fact I had to try several times before I thought I had a tight seal. When I started the car, the oil just came gushing out of the filter. I immediately turned off the engine and took out the filter.
I ran to my computer to check if I put in the right one, since that would be really stupid. But it is the right one. I took another ML1009 and twisted it in, this time without any difficulty, and it sealed perfectly.
Any thoughts? I bought these from Rockauto and they were pretty cheap at $2.56 each + shipping (so roughly $4 each).
The can itself does not appear to have any sealing problems, the threads all looked fine to me... something was not right and I am not sure. I will try to post some pictures later tonight.
