Squashed Oil Filter ?
Squashed Oil Filter ?
Seems the last three times I've changed my oil filter the old one is all scrunched up when I take it out. Is this happening to others ?
I like to wipe out the housing when I change them also, but beware the theads on the housing like to slice your fingers.
I change them at 3500 miles as they are paper.

Otherwise it will be sitting a tad low on the column and might twist/crush when you tighten the top.
I suggest using the fleece filters as they look more sturdy.
