Hi
The picture below I think describes this perfectly
Some how the threads are damaged where the oil filter screws on. I spent nearly an hour trying to screw a new filter on, it seem to be impossible. At one point it seemed to be engaged but after less than a turn if came off.
I'm not sure what to do to either get a new filter on or repair the threads. I considered using a file or grinder (probably dremel style because now sure I'll get a 4 and a half inch angle grinder in there)to remove the offending 1mm or 2 of thread. But I was worried about contaminating the new oil with metal filings.
