I'm using the larger Mobil 1 oil filter right now before I was using the correct size, different brand and was doing the same thing. I rubbed fresh oil on the seal before putting it on hand tight. And it still leaks about a drop every 1-2 weeks. I know it's not a lot but it shouldn't leak at all. How am I not getting a good seal? Thanks, Steve.

i always put mine on more than hand tight. a good amount more than hand tight.

i dont know if what i am doing is right or wrong, good or bad, so take this advice with a grain of salt.

are you sure there isn't an old gasket stuck to the block? or perhaps some dirt on the sealing surface?

BIG POSSIBILITY AND VERY BAD!!! CHECK THAT ASAP!

sounds like other have said- a old gasket. Usually when you double gasket it leaks really bad. I would take it off and check for gaskets first.

Ok, thanks. I don't think there's an old gasket but I'll check. Steve
