Default Re: Oil leak from filter

Did you put a smear of clean oil round the seal? Sounds like you haven't tightened it enough. Rule of thumb is tighten it by hand until until the seal touches the engine then tighten by two full turns, unless written otherwise on the filter or packaging. Go and get a filter socket they're a fiver.

The thead is fine I'm sure.
