I've noticed the last 2 Saab filters I've used had gaskets that weren't flush fit to the filter, a little wrinkle / or a hair oversize if you will.
These two filters left a stain of oil under filter by oil change time.
New filter (Black GM type replaced Blue Saab from Eeuro) looks better.
I tighten as tight as I can by hand and that's it. Tightening with a wrench risks compromising the gasket. Or worse. Good tip to look for the gasket on old filter!
Glad your wife pulled over, smart lady!
