After changing the oil in my 04 gs at least 21 times in 70,000 miles I had one stick last night. 20 minute job 5 hours and still working on it. I stripped the filter so I bought a clamping ratchet wrench and it tore the filter so I stuck a screw driver through it and tore it more. Hours later after pulling almost all of the filter out with needle nose I got to the top and those 6 little slots and tried to twist the top out with needle nose. After two broken needle nose pliers I am at a loss. What to do now, haul to dealer and pay to have the engine cracked? That would cost about $700.00 or more. What I'm thinking it making a plate with six screws the size of the hole and using the new filter for a template and welding a nut on the plate Screwing the plate into those slots and then using a socket to try and remove the last 10th of an inch of filter stuck on the nut. Question why would this filter stick like this, did I tighten it to much or possible mis thread. I don't believe I did either but something went wrong. Help in Pa.
