DIY oil change
#51
This is not the best one on the subject, but will give you an idea of the internal workings of an oil filter. One of the main problems with Fran filters are the 'cardboard' end caps.

You can get the little stickers at most parts stores near the oil
Also, unless you are saving money on the high mileage, dont waste your money, Some say it makes a difference, but most say it really does not. To elaborate more on the high mileage, after doing some reading. It has an additive that swells seals, and, like you would think, there is no "stop" to how far the seals will swell. some people have experienced the seals swelling so far that they fail.
regular oil can go 5000 miles between changes, Synthetic can go 7000, been tested to go even farther before it really starts to break down.

i might just make the exchange then to either just mobil 1 or mobil 1 extended performance. im glad you informed me about the additive in high mileage that swells the gaskets. thank you for that info. im gonna have to head to harbor freight and get the jacks so i can sit under there and make sure thats where the leaks definitely coming from, its been going on since i got intake gaskets done, but as far as i know the intakes not the issue ..leaks worse when i park on inclines but still not enough to make a difference, havent had to add any oil yet lol
