Whats up with factory oil filter
I have 500 miles on my 05 GT turbo convertiable so I wanted to put in some Mobil 1. I drained the oil and when I went to remove the original oil filter, what a pain.
I went thru 3 different filter wrenchs, I finally got it loose using a pliers type of wrench. It wasnt that the filter was hard to get too, it was just tight, when I finally got it off it was all tore up. It looked like I had used a screw driver to take it off.
I cant imagine these are supposed to be this tight, I installed the new one like I normally do by following the directions on the filter box. At least I feel better now having the Mobil 1 in it now.
