What happens if you forget to Change your Oil Filter?

What happens here

Take the new oil filter (Wix brand is used here) and carefully thread it onto the engine by hand. Ensure it starts straight to avoid cross-threading. Tighten the filter by hand until it is snug. Avoid using tools to tighten the filter excessively, as this can damage the filter or the engine's mounting threads. The presenter emphasizes that Wix filters are designed to meet or exceed OEM specifications.

Goal: Securely attach the new oil filter to the equipment.
