[QUOTE="Harald, post: 1259467, member: 8054"] An update is needed on oil filters. A recent change in manufacturing has rendered some previously acceptable oil filters models as unacceptable. The threaded portion of the oil filter used to be concave (like an innie belly button), but is now an convex (an outie). This results in insufficient compression of the gasket (and subsequent leaks) when the threads now bottom out on the union in the FJR engine. Affected filters are the Purolator 14610/14612, Bosch 3323 and possibly others. I'm currently running a Wix 57356 that shows as an acceptable filter for the FJR on rockauto.com and it does not leak. Cost is $4.55 and it comes in black (not white like shown on the rockauto.com website). [/QUOTE]
