Scewed up oil filter
i have been changing my own oil on all my vehicles for the past 20 years,
never had a problem very easy to do ,but today was different, when i
removed the old oil filter never noticed till later that the rubber gasket
had separated and was still stuck on the block so when i put the new filter on i had
two rubber gaskets on the filter,when i started my 4 liter Ranger there was
oil all over the garage floor ,i always put a light film of oil on the rubber
gasket. this is the first time this has happened ,it was a Ford dealer filter.
when i inspected the old filter it had no gasket. wtf.

i know i screwed up i should of checked the old filter first to see if it had a
gasket now i know for next time ,the leak from the oil filter must of had a
lot of pressure ,on the same side as the filter radiator got sprayed and some
got on the belt ,hard to imagine the oil sprayed from oil filter to side of radiator,or could it be the fan must of helped it spray that far a mystery to me,
