Oil pressure is too high on my 2009 nissan versa. Every time when I start a car oil filter gasket blows. First thing I checked: oil filter tread. It's not bent. Every time I change filter or fix gasket, it blows in different places. Can anybody help me with this problem?

Hi there,

The first thing you need to do is get the oil pressure tested with a mechanical gauge, get the readings at cold idle, hot idle and at 1500 RPM hot, i would be thinking you have a faulty oil pressure relief valve,
