Went to change the oil and filter today and the filter fought the whole way off. I remember when I installed it, it did not want to torque properly (turning too easily). I stopped when it was well snug but less than spec torque. It looks like the cheap FRAM filter started to strip then messed up the Union Bolt coming off. Spent the afternoon looking for a die to cleanup the threads to no avail. Got a couple small needle files to take care of the rougher spots and worked it in and out of the new filter until it ran smooth. Reinstalled and snugged short of the full 17 Nm torque.
So I'm looking at replacing the Union Bolt at the next oil change. The 2014 p/n is 90401-20008-00 and costs $15.57. For a 2022 the p/n is 90401-20012-00 and costs $12.08. I normally order the latest part. Does anyone know if there is any reason not to go with the latest?
Lesson learned and advise: Avoid FRAM PH 6017A filters. I'm going back to Mahle next time.
