ah thanks bud!
i changed the oil today and put a k&n $20 oil filter on and now there is weird noises coming from everywere! even a sucking air leaking sound coming from near the oil filter ! doesn't sound good. so i thought i would get under it know and put the ryco z9 i have in the garage on and see if it makes a difference. |

The oil filter isn't double sealed is it??
( the old seal stayed stuck to the block & new seal is on the filter??? )

no the seals are all good!
i just got under and took off the k&n filter and seal then re attached my ryco z9 filter but the annoying new noises are still there. i will have to refill the car with the same 10w30 type oil the car had in it tommorrow and see if everything goes back the way it was. ;eg no noises. fingers crossed. |

If theres "sucking" noises coming from the area, the filter definitely isn't sealing. The funny noises will be the motor struggling with a lack of oil pressure.
