Re: 3.8l blowing the oil filter gasket??

First of all Mickey#1 is on the right track in that the pressure relief valve may be stuck but the gasket shouldn't blow that easily. Remove the old filter and replace it with a higher quality filter like a Wix filter. Also make sure that the filter base is clean and that there is no damage or rubber stuck to it.

The orange can of death is not a good choice in filters IMHO.
