Problems with Royal Purple Oil Filter
In October I did my first oil change on the car. Switched to Royal Purple Oil and a Royal Purple Filter. The last week of January, I put headers/tune/CAI on the car.
SO I go into my garage the other night and much to my dismay, I find about a 1/2 quart of oil puddled under the car. So my first reaction is "$&#@, I broke the rear seal or the camaro is suddenly on her period and pissed because of valentine's day...someone else has been taking my attention".
I climb under her and start checking things, and my Royal Purple Filter is litterally one turn from being off. I know it was tight. I did it myself. Talk about a disaster waiting to happen!
1) I've been on the dyno.
2) I've taken at least 9 passes in her.
3) And I'm about to add a blower.
So first question. Anyone have similar issues with their royal purple filters "unthreading"?
What Filters are people running if you are running a "high performance" motor oil?
thanks in advance.
