I thought that I had done everything correctlly in moving my Oil Filter Canister but, obviously, I have not. No matter how tightly I torque it (within reason that is), it still leaks. I have been using the old rubber gasket because it was wider, thicker and just looked to be better than the one that came with the filter. I also put a rubber washer between the bolt head and the lid instead of the old neoprene/plastic that appeared to be worn out (could that be the problem?) The lid looks good and I can't see any dings or flaws where it touches the top rim of the canister. The only things that I haven't tried yet is to put the new thinner rubber gasket inside the lid lip and also use the neoprene washer between the bolt and top of the lid. Does anyone have any magic tricks to help me here or do I just keep tightening and trying things. My shop floor is getting more slippery everytime I crank it up.
Footnote: I am also putting the conical spring wide end down against the filter.
