Did I get the wrong filter? Also, how do you remove the filter from the cap to replace it?
BTW, I had to put the old filter back in.. 
Oh.. and the oil filter is a bear to remove.. where it's stuffed in the back! I did torque it back to 25nm, which was on the box of the new filter. You need a 27mm socket to remove the oil filter. |
Looks the same to me. Just pull down the filter from the cap
