You did? I will try to make a stronger point then... 🤦

*Edit: the filter and gasket from this kit could be generic aftermarket. The description says it's an EPDM rubber gasket. OEM filter with o-rings are almost $60 with discount pricing.* I just looked up Ravenol ATF and saw that they offer a fluid/filter kit that includes the fluid, filter...
