I had a near disaster with a new Bosche "Premium" oil filter and the start it up and drive theory... On Christmas day we were visiting relatives in the Poconos (PA). The temp was in the teens and I had just changed the oil (20w50 Valvoline). A couple hundred yards from their driveway the dynamic oil buzzer went off and I stopped Immediately! Scared the Crap out of me actually. As soon as I got out of the Van it was obvious what happened. Nearly 4 Quarts of oil sprayed out in only that short distance. The rubber gasket at the top of the filter had failed. First and last time I used a Bosche filter... I also changed the oil to 10w40 before the trip home. Thank God there was no engine damage but it certainly could have been a disaster. WHEWWWW... Don 87 GL Westi York, PA
