I tightened as much as I could than twisted. Mostly dented the can. From what I see on you tube you tighten a little twist and repeat. Is the the technique that you use?
Yes...tighten a little...twist.... repeat until open.....By tightening it "as much as you could" initially….you probably caused your issues...
PS: Nice looking filter.....too bad the COO is China (I think)….
It is. I personally don't have an issue with it being Chinese. I have used sever of the premium guard oil and air filters and they all have seemed quality to me. Can't speak for other Chinese made ones though.
I've bought and used many Chinese products simply because it's hard not to these days.....I've always had second thoughts about it because I do consider them an 'adversary'.....but with recent events (Covid, Hong Kong etc..) I am going to try to stop supporting China as much as possible.
OTOH, I have always said that those cheap Chinese filters usually look much better than more expensive American made ones when cut open....
PS: I really wish that online sellers like RockAuto, Amazon etc...were required to list the COO of the product they are selling. I would rather purchase something made in Taiwan, Vietnam, Malaysia etc...if there is nothing made in America available.
