    Didn't click on the video. Waiting for someone to summarize it. Been changing my own oil for 28 years now. Can't imagine what someone could do wrong w/ a filter.

    Going by the techs at the dealerships, probably:
    1) Oil the o-ring before you install it.
    2) Don't over tighten it.

    Biggest thing I see is replacement cartridge oil filter housings don't come with the metal stem. The filter can collapse and starve the engine of oil

    Do it yourself... don't let the dealership yahoos or the jiffy lube flunkies touch it. There's not much that can go wrong (as long as you know where the engine and tranny are located lol.)
