I maybe the only one on this site that does it
But I have an old can of bearing grease that's moly fortified
I use that instead of oil on the gasket
Never had a problem with a stuck filter


I use STP oil treatment, solely for putting filter gaskets on vehicles. That's the only reason to buy the stuff IMO. The one thing it works great for.

I'm retired but I'll tell you something to remember you never retire from the Honey do list!

I expect to remove a TG10358 cartridge with about that mileage (3 oil changes) shortly, tomorrow perhaps. My prediction is that it will be in boringly fine condition.
