What Did I do wrong? S52 Oil filter/housing

[ZekeTheSneak]

Oil everywhere, oil is leaking around the caps seal. Everything has less than 1000 miles on it.









I think I installed something wrong or maybe I have the wrong filter? I bought the filter kit from pelican.

that copper washer??? Idk if that's the right washer. There are two washers that come with them, the smaller one, whichever one barely fits the bolt is the correct one to put on this bolt. There other is for drain plug. Also you could have just tightened it too much. I did that before. I hand tighten it and then given it a little 1/2 turn or so at the most and it should center the cap and create a strong seal.

I just looked at my OEM filter kit and I believe NbAmTwE is correct, the copper washer does on the drain plug and a smaller silver one goes on the oil filter cap bolt.
