weird, no more dc4 then eh?

 

CAUTION: Do not apply lubricant or sealing compound to the new
replacement filter gasket. Applying any lubricant or sealing
compound to the replacement filter (see Table 1) may adversely
affect the gasket’s anti-stick properties.

Is this (sticking filters) a problem on champion filters, or just Tempest. I have never seen a filter that was a problem to remove, but have always used Champions. 

As an aside, I think that Tempest should put a more noticeable warning on their new ones. The entrenched method of lubricating filter gaskets is going to be hard to ignore until everyone learns the new procedure.

Only sticking filters I've run into were grossly over tightened...i.e. More than a 1/4 turn past what I can do by rubber gloved hand
