Re: O Ring failure on oil filter housing
The large "O" ring goes in the groove right above the threads, NOT in the one up next to the cap lip. This might be your problem ..... the filter housing should have a torgue value on the top of the cap to guide you in tightening. You'll need a filter cap fitting (cheap) that fits with a 3/8in fitting on top for a socket, and a torque wrench to tighten. I don't remember the torque value for tightening. Hope this helps your problem
EDIT: once tightened and torqued, mark the cap and housing with a small amount of white liquid paper on an edge. Then you just need to tighten to that mark. Makes it easy to double check occasionally also ....
