PROBLEM WITH NEW OIL FILTER HOUSINGS

Oil Filter Warning

Newer cars now have oil filter elements that slip into a housing with a plastic cap.

WARNING:  Many of these plastic housing caps are cracking!  And when they crack the results can be damaging.  It can often take a long time to manifest but with heat and vibration the crack will cause an oil leak.  If the leak goes on long enough, and you are not paying attention to oil lights or not checking oil, you could end up with engine damage.
