Hey ya'll, watch this
Trying a different way of mounting oil filter. I have an adjustable oil filter mount and would like to know if filter has to be mounted down. Does the filter matter?

If you don't have time to do it right will you have time to do it over?
It doesn't have to be mounted down but it'll make a mess when you change it id it's tipped or upside down.

I like through the core support. Very clean
