Be careful even with a brand new oil filters, check n double check to make sure everything is good. This was on my 2024 gts 300 first oil change. I caught in time, only lost a quarter of oil.

That looks like the old seal stayed behind when you changed it out.
Double seal = no good.

Yep old seal stayed behind

I use HF 197 oil filters not the HF 183. Same filter but has a nut instead of a slot which makes it easier to remove

I don't see the double seal, just a seal that has been unseated.
