Just went to change my oil and found the filter canister somewhat dented in at the outboard edges. This was a WIX filter that the shop I had work on my carbs put on because it was dumping fuel into the crankcase. It is smaller than the factory filter but I am not sure that would cause it to collapse!

Any ideas? I am putting a factory filter on with the oil change...

We figured it out... The shop is owned by a friend and he thinks one of his guys got over-zealous with the filter wrench when he put it on. I thought it might have collapsed but that isn't likely...

Well he obviously was clueless for even using a wrench putting it on- good luck getting it off!!

Good grief. That should be only hand tight.

Your mechanic friend's guy got over zealous looking at your avatar. I apologize if that's your wife but she has pretty teeth.

Pretty t-t-t-teeth? She's got pretty everything. 8D

I got it off with a filter wrench and the new one is now hand-tight...
