Here is a warning for all you out there who change your own oil.  Check
to make sure the gasket is still on the old oil filter when you remove
it.  Sometimes it comes off and remains stuck to the engine.  If you
don't see it (or can't like on '81 Mazda GLCs), you can spin on the
new filter snugly but not have it seal properly.  Then, surprise, you
get several quarts of fresh oil on your garage floor when you start up
the engine!
