Ok, back in August I had an issue with an oil filter leaking from oil change I did about a month or two before (yes I checked to be sure old gasket was gone before installing new filter) I used a RP 10-48 and it came loose a bit. With help of the forum, others informed me maybe I didn't completely tighten. So I tighten it more by hand and life went on without any more leaks.
I had the dealer change the next oil change (about 3k ago) and they put a mopar on and within a month I put a RP back on since I had Ultra in the motor and didn't want to change it within 3k. Today I realize I am only 1/4" on dip stick from being too low (I know it was full because the dealer slightly overfilled it and I drain a bit). So I check the air filter no oil in it and crawl under to only find the oil filter is AGAIN loose with some oil on black plastic electronic piece under filter. I tighten the filter back.
Now what to do - I'll probably put the mopar filter back on and see if it leaks...sounds crazy but I haven't had any filter on long enough except the RP and they seem to leak.
I know there is a known issue with oil filter leaking on older rams 2013/2014 but here is the thing...my Ram was made 12/14...possibility of it not getting updated with deeper thread from engine block?
I guess I will check to see if the mopar leaks after 1000 miles and if does - back to the dealership (men that don't know how to measure oil levels mind you)
Any other oil filter issues in early 2015's?
Any suggestions would be helpful.
