Just got woken up to a call from my local Ford Dealership. I had my Mach 1 in recently just to check over some things. But they have informed me that Ford told them NOT to lubricate the gasket/seal on the oil filter because in can back it self off from aggressive driving. I just changed my own oil about 100 miles ago and he remembered me telling him I was doing so and gave me a rang. He told me to check on the tightness and if I wanted to, I can bring it in and they'll replace the oil/filter. I'm probably just going to throw it on the ramps, let it sit then swap out the filter myself.
But in all my years on working on a pretty "normal" range of vehicles, never have I been told not to lubricate the oil filter! We had a pretty good laugh about it. But I wanted to post this so others can be aware of the possibility of the oil filter backing itself off.
