Lube your oil filter!

Ever since picking up my Pro it seems as if the base of the seat feels a bit loose. Not like the seat suspension working, more like an issue with the seat in general. I looked under the seat today and noticed a little piece of plastic broke. Then decided to take a pic of the under area where it was to try and figure out where it might have came from. Couldn't see from the pics where it came from, but I did notice what appears to be a significant amount of rust on a metal bracket under the seat. Posting this as I'm wondering if anyone else has these same issues.

If you ever wondered if you should actually put oil on the oil filter gasket before you thread it on the answer is here! Toyota now puts grease on the o ring from factory! Assuming Toyota did what Toyota does and put a lot of research into this it's safe to assume they thought this was good practice since they now go through the extra effort to include the o ring pre greased. Pretty cool they do this I'm not sure if any other manufacture goes through that extra step and care.
