85 oil filter o-ring

[sarchin]

Hello everyone,

trying to change the oil on the Vmax, and can't seem to get the o-ring to stay on the filter canister when I try to bolt it on.

Is there a trick to this? or can I use some sort of gasket holder?

Thanks

I use Vaseline to hold it on canister, I always buy new filter with 0 ring included because the old ones tend to stretch out and makes it harder for them to stay stuck to canister while during instalation.

Thanks I will try that.I bought a new o ring. I was surprised that a new one didn't come with the filter.

When I had my '89 I probably replaced that o-ring one every 10,000 miles or so. Just lube it good and they last forever.
