Just did a service on my GTV and when removing the filter from the housing the spring jumped out. Does the spring go back on the top of the filter or the bottom? Does it matter? Thanks

The spring goes in the bottom to hold the filter up tight to the seal. And yes, it matters.

Thanks, time to get my hands dirty and smelly again from being washed in that liquid gold. Will make a note of the proper location of the spring in my service log to make sure I get it right the next time. Thanks,
