:( Hey need to know if this happens to other people! Problem is i went to change oil and filter yesterday everything went well till i went to put new filter on ended up screwing new one on litrally got it on two threads and relized it wasnt going on properly went to undo it and thats when i ran into my problem:( the actual bolt that you screw filter on too actually started unscrewing with the filter on it had to grip the bolt with mole grips and undo the filter then screwed bolt back into engine block and put old filter on:( just to get me home... Anyone else had this problem?? Seems a really daft design as the bolt screws into engine the same direction as the filter goes on. Help!!
