2G Oem oil filter

[MasterMatt209]

I’m about to do an oil change and I have an oem filters and crush washer for the pan. The filter comes with some plastic wrap over the opening with clear grease of some sort over the rubber. Do I wipe it off, oil it, then put it on? Just making sure before I do it. Also for the washer does it matter which way I put it on? It seems one side is made to “bite” would I want that on the pan side?

That's weird. Why do you doubt that?

Anyway, I used the fat wix filter. Barely fit, I might have to rotate a clamp on my fmic piping next oil change.

Wix supposedly is 20 micron rating. Oem is 40.

Running Brad Penn oil. I will update.
