Hi,
Thanks for letting me join the forum.
I just bought a 2010 Ninja 250 and I did my oil filter change today.
The washer on the spring was missing so I had to use something else until next oil filter when I will buy one.

The question is that I bought a Wix filter. But it is not that tight on the filter bolt. I think that in some videos I see it being inserted with a bit of force. But this one seems a bit easy to slide on the bolt. I am afraid that if there is a little gap between the rubber hole on the filter and the bolt the filtering action will be compromised since oil might pass between.

What are your thoughts? Thanks
