Hey great job on the oil change video also the reset. However I think you are slacking on the beer drinking. I could have downed six of them in that amount of time. LOL thank you for the good work we appreciate it out here.

Why do the oil filters look different? Shouldn't the second filter have a rubber gasket on it like the one you took out?
