I think I might have made an oops. I changed my oil today, and upon starting my 350, I did not see the oil leak untill later.
I let the engine run for a while. I went in and had a cup of coffee and when I went out, I saw a stream of oil coming from the filter.
I immediatly shut her down and tried to analize the situation.
I have a chevy 350, I had gotten a Fram PH5 filter. The box was sealed.
I have never had an issue with Fram before. I always had good luck. I screwed the filter on. It was a PH25 filter in a PH5 box.
Ok, the oil was down four quarts when I discovered the mess. All it did was idle as I was going to tune it later. I also used synthetic oil.
I filled the crankcase, changed filter double checking the PH5 was indeed Ph5 and fired it up. No knocks, immediate oil pressure and no pressure loss.
Is the filter part of the pressure system, or is it the recovery system. Might I have smoked it, or is it all right?
