I did my first ALH oil change last night, I've done oil changes many times, but never with the paper-filter style.
I used a Mann filter.
When I put the filter in the top cap, it didn't click or anything. I thought maybe Mann had cheapened their design since the youtube vids I watched had been made.
But then I read that Mann filters sometimes have "Top" stamped on the incorrect end.
I felt like it was kind of tough to crank the top cap back down again, but maybe that's just because this was my first time doing this style? I also don't have a proper oil filter wrench thing (very tight fit, popped off the cap while tightening/loosening), I used one similar to this (see below)
My questions are:
1) do Mann filters still "click" into the cap?
2) if yes, can I change the filter again while oil is still in the engine?
Thanks
