1999 Dodge Ram 1500 5.9L 156k on the clock.
Went to my dad's yesterday and changed the oil in his truck for him and when I went to unscrew the filter, I noticed there was oil dripping from it. I went to unscrew the filter and immediately noticed that it only took a slight bit of pressure to break free. I changed his oil last about a year and a half ago (drives very few miles anywhere) and I hand tightened that filter pretty good.
Filter was a Bosch 3402. Was the length of the OCI to blame for it to work loose like it did? Never seen that happen before and he doesn't mistreat the truck in anyway.
