No, I wouldn't use anything but oil, like you said.  Last time I changed mine on the Drifter, it did leak just a tad, until I tightened it again after like an hour of service.  I guess wait until it's hot and retighten, and after that it shouldn't leak. That's just my experience--some guys will say theirs never leaks period.

No silicone, just like you and any filter just wipe seal with oil and go.  I did mine a few weeks ago no issues no leaks.  Drain oil change filter add 4 qts and your all set ;D

I'm getting ready to change my oil and filter. The service manual says to use Kawasaki silicon sealant and put grease on the gasket.  I've always just applied oil to filter gaskets and tightened down. Do you guys use this silicon sealant? Thanks for your help, Mike
