They haven't read the part about a quarter turn after the seal touches
at the factory. I've gotten a collectionÂ* of those end cap things over
the years and generally have one that fits. If not I fall back on the
strap wrench.
I had the dealer put on a filter I could not get off in the limited
space under my Forester when I went to change the oil. I made the
dealer take it off and replace it with my filter. I had been screwed on
a 60,000 mile service where I had changed the oil a couple of months
before I went in and did not realize that they had done an unnecessary
engine flush.
