Troubleshooting
Oil leaking from the filter base after installation
Ensure the old gasket was removed from the engine block and that the new filter was tightened to the correct 20 Nm torque.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Verification: Confirm your engine model requires the M26x1,5 thread specification before purchase.
Preparation: Clean the mounting surface on the engine block to ensure the new gasket seats perfectly.
Sealing: Lightly coat the new rubber seals with clean engine oil before threading the filter on.
Installation: Tighten the filter to the recommended 20 Nm torque specification. Avoid over-tightening with tools, as this can damage the gasket.
Inspection: After the initial engine start, run the car for a few minutes and check the base of the filter for any signs of seepage.
