Well Crap!

Guess I got the wrong filter

Gasket wasn't the same as what came off so I tried to reuse the old gasket. Pinched it at some point and it was leaking oil. Guess I'll have to wait at least until Monday to get a new gasket.



Had Fram CH6000 filter- guess I needed CH6001?

Feeling very dumb and disappointed in myself. Thanks for letting me vent.

The filter is the same, but the o-ring is different. The o-ring you got is for the 8-valve engines.

I wouldn't be too upset -- the o-ring that comes with Fram filters is shoddy and almost always completely useless, even if it's looks like the correct shape.

If there's a Napa auto parts in your area, their filter is much better and the o-ring actually works.

NAPA has bike parts?

To reuse the o-ring put some grease in the groove of the cover and reinstall the o-ring.
