Popped in the new Mann filter (from German Filters, 4 pack for $58) and O-rings, added the 8 1/2 quarts of Mobil 1 and done in 20 mins each. I wish the filer was on the top of all my vehicles! What a piece of cake this makes it.

Hey Mike, I have some questions about the filter. It has those 2 hash marks on them and the instruction say that one shouldn't be visible after installation. Well I can still see both. Well, one almost disappeared but not completely.
Is this a problem or do you think it's just mis-marked by a millimeter or 2 or something? I don't think i can install it any further. It was my first time changing the oil on this and just want to make sure I did it right.
I don't see any oil leaks or anything but what other potential problems might I have?
