Yeah, I did wet the black rubber seal for my new one but there wa sso much damage on the oil coolers flat seal surface area it just would not seal 100% no matter what..Kinda pisses me off but what do you expect for 700 bucks.PATDIESEL wrote:Slim, that is an oil filter relocation kit, not a replacement oil cooler. (If I see the pic correctly) It won't help solve his problem and it will only complicate what he is already having trouble with.
Read the manual like already suggested and get a new part from Mazda. oh, and make sure that when you place a new oil filter on the car to wet the black ring around the top of the new filter with some clean oil. It will help create a good seal between the oil cooler and the filter.
I was tryin gto find an oil filter relocator kit for the MX-3 but no luck yet.
