Best Answer

Then someone did not install the filter correctly or the gasket was defective. The gasket must have a thin coat of oil applied before installing or it can leak. The filter should be tightened no more or less than 3/4 turn after it makes contact with the mounting surface, or it may leak. Too tight or too loose and it may leak. The mounting surface may have grit on it or may be damaged. Look see.

Oil filter replacement on a cummins 06 dodge?

The oil filter is on the passenger side of the engine, about halfway down the block. Easiest way to get to it is with a filter strap, through the wheelwell. Loosen it until you can spin it by hand. Get underneath the truck, reach up and spin it off, you can pull it straight down without tipping it and making a mess. Reinstall from under the truck (after priming at least 3/4 full of oil) and lubing the gasket... Spin on until gasket hits the baseplate, and use a strap wrench to go 1 full turn past that (through the wheelwell).
