Oil

[Luxury]

Make sure the o-ring on the housing and on the bolt are in good shape and in the grooves. It can be tough to keep the one on the housing in the groove as you install the housing - I put some fresh oil on the o-ring to make it stick in the grove. (Some filters come with new o-rings and they get twisted up in the box.)

Warming the o ring up, or coating it with new wheel bearing grease help to keep it in place.

Yeah, I do that also. I hold it in place in the groove by smearing grease in the groove first. Oil and grease seem to like each other. :-)
