You unscrew the old filter, wet the seal on the new one with oil, and screw the new one on hand tight.
Oil filter adapter gasket??? Do not understand the question. When you change the oil filter, the new filter has a gasket already installed. What exactly are you talking about?
First, what kind of vehicle is this on? Without that known, there is usually only two reason to have a leak at the oil filter: 1 - oil filter gasket itself, for one reason or another - if the filter gasket was not lubricated with oil before it was installed, or the filter has been on the vehicle for a long time, it can stay stuck on the vehicle when the filter is removed for an oil change - when a new filter is installed, the gasket on the new oil filter makes contact with the old gasket instead of the engine, and leaks - this is very, very dangerous situation because the oil can be lost in a matter of a minute if the old gasket breaks loose - the engine most likely would be ruined before you could get off the road if driving at 70 mph... Pull the filter off, make sure the old gasket is not the problem, clean off the sealing surfaces on the engine and the filter, oil the filter gasket with clean motor oil, and re-install filter - tighten 3/4 turn once filter gasket makes contact... If still leaking, install a new filter of different brand... 2 - if this is on vehicle that has an engine oil cooler, (usually an option or part of a trailer towing package) there is a o-ring at the oil cooler/filter adapter, where the oil lines going to the oil cooler are installed. The o-ring gets hard as time and heat degrades it, and starts leaking - sometimes, a lot... To fix, buy a new o-ring ($6 or so), remove oil filter, remove the bolt in in the center of the oil cooler/filter adapter, pull away from engine only enough to completely scrape out o-ring out of the grooves, install the new o-ring, re-install center bolt, and the oil filter. It is hard to scrape out the old o-ring, but a lot cheaper than adding a quart of oil after every trip... 3 - Always check for leaks when replacing the oil filter - even if there has never been a problem - only takes one time to have a mess to clean up, or an engine to replace... 4 - Check to see if the leak could be comming from the oil pressure sending unit, located above the filter on the 4.0 L, it leaks on the filter and runs off.

To change the gasket remove the oil filter. There will be 2 bolts holding the adapter to the block, remove them push the adapter off. Clean both surfaces apply gasket seal to gasket. Put the bolts thru the holes and apply gasket to adapter. Start the bolts into engine block and tighten evenly. Put on a new oil filter making sure the filter rubber gasket has a coating of oil.

Yes, you can see videos on how to do many vehicle maintenance activities, such as how to change the adapter gasket on a 1996 Lincoln town car, online. Websites like YouTube, as well as auto maintenance websites, often have video tutorials for these tasks.
what size motor?
with tools.
That's not what is leaking, & you'd have to pull motor to do it. These leak from the oil filter arm or the rear main seal.
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.
The Goodyear shop at Boynton Beach Blvd and Jog Rd in Boynton beach quoted my son $380 to replace the Oil Filter Adapter gasket and Oild Sending unit. To me, that is more than just a little on the high side.
