    I just bought my GTP a few days ago. I noticed a little oil leak so decided to put the car on ramps and pressure wash the engine and underneath so I can try and figure out where the oil leak is coming from.

    After I finished I started the car up and it ran for about a minute and I heard a loud bang and found the oil filter had blown off ! Of course I shut it off asap. The PO had recently within the past week changed the oil and it was a no name cheap oil filter on it. I went and got a A/C Delco filter and put 4 qts ! back in it to fill it back up and everything seems all good now.

    As far as I can tell the engine looks very clean on the inside so I don't think its a sludge issue causing the filter to blow off. I know if someone leaves the old filter gasket on the housing can cause this but I didn't see an extra gasket. Worries me to drive it now

    Anyone ever hear of this happening ??
