What a shock to find a element in the new filter box. Now where to put it? 2.2 08:lol: :lol:

you can take that filter of yours and stick it where the sun dont shine....
right up under the hood :D cus that's where it goes...yep!:cool: |
looks like the write up didnt mention replacing the o-ring on the filter cap.
I think the authoir just forgot to mention it, but the filter element should come with a new filter cap o-ring. Change that, and smear a little new oil around the o-ring to prevent any tearing as it goes in. |
Why replace the o-ring if its still in good shape?

why NOT change it? The filter comes with a new one. And if the old one should fail, it'll cause a bigger mess than the current drain plug design ;) Just my 2 cents. |
Whats wrong with the current drain plug design???
Works just like all drain plugs, you have to hit the drain pan or get a bigger pan |

Thank you Black Rose....I was thinking the same thing.
Purchased a dozen Delco filters so far (shared with friends). NONE came with the "gasket". Not that it's not a bad idea. Oh you know...I think if you purchase the Delco filter that comes with the filter cannister lid, they also provide the o-ring. |
