    Also remember to wet your finger with fresh oil then reach up and wipe on filter housing mount 'interior' where Oring meets it.

    The smaller o-ring goes under the metal filter bowl drain plug.

    This might be the only time I would recommend the dealer doing your oil changes from now on. :rofl:
