Silly me, I used the torque spec to put it on instead of just doing it by feel like I've done for a zillion years.  When I hit the starter I wondered why my idiot lights weren't going off and when I looked down I was standing in a puddle of 3qts of Amzoil.

A nut on the bottom is no reason to use a K&N, but that is just IMNSHO.

ymmv,
