Changed the oil yesterday.
#1.: "Long Filter" The long filter when removed was twisted and almost in an "S" shape. No cracks, just twisted with no pinching. I thought this was odd. Has this happened to anyone, does anyone recommend replacing this at this point.
#2. "Short Filter" My hex bolt is "stripped". When purchased this thing was so tight, that I could not remove it. I attempted several different ways to remove it, but it is now stripped. The metal is pretty soft and now I am at a loss. Any recommendations on how to remove it properly. I feel a pro is probably needed at this point.. HELP!!!!
