Well here is my opinion on filters, I did service on heavy equipment and trucks for 10 years. Literally thousands of filters, CLEAN OIL is the best filter rubber lube, grease is usually soap based and washes/squeezes out then the rubber welds itself to the head. Oil stays in there and lubes, also ,NEVER jerk on the filter, the rubber just springs back, slow even pressure will do it almost everytime.
