Re: Oil Change Question
I am just now getting around to the oil change and was wondering about the washers. One side of the washer has what appears to be a gap in it, I'm guessing so it will crush but does it matter which way the gasket goes on? No mention of it from you all earlier in the thread so figuring no but wanted to be sure before I put the screens back in tomorrow.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Re: Oil Change Question
Won't leak either way in my experience.
Like most things you can do one of two ways there is usually a right way and a wrong way depending on what you were taught.

Re: Oil Change Question
Normal use, the gapped side of the crush washer goes against the fixed surface.
