You unscrew the old filter, wet the seal on the new one with oil, and screw the new one on hand tight.

oil leakIt takes about 1 to 1.5 hours. I just replaced my gasket doe to an oil leak that appeared to be coming from the inside of the filter adapter. This did not stop the leak, I now believe it is coming from the gasket of the front engine cover that the oil filter adapter bolts too. this is a much bigger job. Bob
Remove the old filter and make sure you remove the old gasket, there should only be 1 gasket.
the gasket comes built in with the oil filter period! there arent any gasket except the one on the filter . find a new mechanic!
The gasket comes preinstalled on the new filter. Make sure the gasket comes off when you remove the old filter. Apply a think layer of oil to the new filters gasket before installing.
