I have worked on cars since i was a kid, so im no noob by any means.

I have never had a problem with Fram oil filters....till now. I changed my oil and oil filter. Used fram Tough gaurd, never again. I changed my oil and oil filter, everything was nice and tight. Started my car and oil went every where, I mean every where. The passenger side of the motor is covered in oil! Not to mention I get to clean the concrete in the garage. So i have a fun day ahead of me. Any ideas on cleaner for the concrete.

I would try some absorbent compound first to draw the oil up. Then dawn on top. Usually it will cut the oil.

Use some cheap kitty litter. I would use an old pair of shoes and grind it in. Let it sit for a while so it can absord. I dropped several quarts of oil years ago changing it in my 88 bronco II.....I left the old gasket on the block...two gaskets make a mess!!!!
