....on the 2019 Outback in my signature?
I had a local Oil Express shop change the oil at 9k miles and I used a WIX XP filter. The top mounted filter area was clean and dry when the new filter was installed. There were no issues with the filter leaking right after the change and for the next 4,500 miles.
When I checked the fluid levels and battery earlier this week, I noted oil around the base of the filter. I tried to tighten the filter by hand but found it to be as tight as it was going to get, at least by hand.
Is there a problem with this filter and should I change it?
