I noticed the other day the Fram PH3980 on my blazer was leaking at the gasket. Been using them almost exclusively since I bought the truck in 2017. I gave it a little crank to make sure it was tight and all was good.
I bought a ST this afternoon with what appears to have a thicker gasket so we shall see what happens. Never had this issue. The gasket seems fine after removal.
It shouldn’t matter as long as it seals, but I don’t like seeing the filter baseplate so close to the filter mounting surface. The new filter is about double the original when tightened.
