How can I avoid getting leaks when changing oil filter on 2002 VW Jetta VR6?
I have a 2002 VW Jetta VR6 that has a cannister filter. When I've changed the oil, I've noticed that it leaks at the filter. I've tightened it more but it still leaks. Should the gasket that comes with the cannister filter go around the treads?
one thing that can happen is that the gasket got lost. heres one tip: when you change the oil canaster put some oil in oil canaster. then wet the rubber gasket with the oil. it will make it easier for you to tighten the oil canaster. if you have any questions






ExxonMobil has been under a harsh spotlight over the last few days, facing accusations that the company has deliberately downplayed the severity of the Yellowstone River oil spill with misleading information and vague claims about what actually happened.
BP says oil has stopped leaking into the Gulf for the first time since April.
Underpromising with hopes of overdelivering, BP said Sunday that it is making progress on what could prove its most effective effort yet to contain the Gulf oil leak, but cautioned that the verdict could be several days away.
BP has been unexpectedly hit with a $10bn (£6.2bn) lawsuit related to an alleged leak of toxic chemicals at its Texas City refinery earlier this year, adding to its woes over the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
The US government says the Gulf oil spill is the biggest leak ever, as BP prepares an operation to permanently seal its well.
