Step 8Oil the New Filter's O-Ring and Install the Filter
Dip a finger into the oil on the old filter. Wipe some on the new filter's O-ring.
That keeps it from getting messed up when you tighten it down.
Turn it on until it's sort of tight.
The "Clymer Super Shop Manual" says:
13. Coat the neoprene gasket on the new filter with a thin film of clean engine oil. Screw the filter in place by hand until it contacts the mounting pad surface. Tighten California diesel filters an additional 1/2 turn by hand. Tighten all other filters another 2/3 turn by hand. Do not overtighten, as this can cause an oil leak.
