You'll learn pretty quickly not to over tighten oil filters when your only choice of getting it off is with a large screwdriver and a hammer

Genuine oil filters only, cold start oil pressure on an EJ engine can cause non-gen filters to split.

What I meant it by "overdone" is buying expensive oil and filter which is not very suitable for my car, not I did service myself and over tighten the filter!

I thought you could understand......

IN the future, make sure you let the dealer use their own oil and filters, rather than having the dealer install your supplied non-genuine parts.

Being genuine, you KNOW the stuff works, and there is no arguments should a genuine part fail after being installed by a dealer.
