OK what is yalls trick to making the o-ring stay on the fuel filter when changing it? Ive done mine several times but cant get this new filter on for the life of me.

The ones you get from the dealer generally have the ring kinked so I just use a little grease and the keeps i suctioned into the o-ring slot.

x2. grease or vasoline, then try and apply pressure "square" to filter mount. good luck.

The NAPA 3960 stays right in place when you put it on. I just put a little bit of oil on it and push it down into it's slot. Stays put while the filter is being screwed on.

I got it. I was using a racor filter. A little stretch and some diesel did the trick. Also doing it during the day helps too :)

Parker Super O Lube (http://www.manuf-rubber.com/superolube.html) works great .. it's a tacky silicone based o-ring lube .. silicone grease works too but not as tacky as the super o lube .. I use the super o lube on the o-rings and silicone grease on the filter and WIF threads .. The super o lube or silicone grease is good for oil filter gaskets too .. it doesn't get absorbed into the rubber gaskets and the filter always comes off easy when changing out..
