An oil filter gasket includes a body and a flap extending inwardly from the body away from a recess of an oil filter housing. The body provides a compression fitting between the oil filter and a mounting structure. The flap also provides a compression fitting between the oil filter and mounting structure. As oil pressure within the oil filter increases, the flap is further forced into engagement with the mounting structure thereby increasing the oil pressure that the oil filter may be subjected to before leaking.
