Any tips on the best way to change oil on a 56 desoto with a
330 Hemi?
Issue is leaking around the stock (medieval) oil filter, can’t get it to stop. Tried 3-4 times now.
Also tried a few aftermarket spin on adapters (Hot head hemi, etc) and none of them fit or have filter clearance from the motor.

I presume that your canister shell is not nicked or warped and that you have a new gasket for the bottom of the external canister where is contacts the OE filter adapter?
I installed a Hot Heads spin-on adapter and a WIX filter with only a few minor issues:

Thanks 56D. Gasket seems to be installed correctly. Upon further inspection it appears to be leaking from the top part of shell where the bolt goes. I have a bronze washer between the bolt and shell and will double check the fit.
Not enough clearance on my motor for the hot heads adapter but I will check out the thread.
