I hope you didn't try force it on. Are the threads on the engine connection still o.k.? Not stripped? Don't mean to insult your intelligence, just asking. Let us know how you make out.

RE: DO NOT BUY STP OIL FILTERS!!
oil filter? whats that. i guess i am still using the the factory one at 47000 miles. dont seem to have a problem. could this be why my oil has clumps in it when i drain it out? any way i always have used fram filters and change them out at 4500 miles so ya the beginning was a story but sounded good. and yes dodge did a poor design on the filter location. at least leave it flat so oil does not go everywhere

Glad it worked out for you. I only use K&N. I like the feature of the 1" socket connection.

this is what the factory filter looked like after I finally got it off.....don't know who had gone through my tools but the only oil wrench I had was a jaw/plier type that works great on the motorbike but frickin useless on the truck

I've always used Napa gold filters in the past and so has my entire family, no complaints from anyone. When I switched to Amsoil I put on the Amsoil filter though.

what he said.....the position of the oil filter on the dak isn't bad, isn't great but isn't bad, but still makes it damned easy to remove with a 6pt 1" socket, extension and offset wrench
