4.8 Engine Oil Filter stuck.
Am I being stupid here? Drained the old engine oil. Undid filter under engine. Removed filter lid/canister. Pulled filter downwards = STUCK It will not come of it's spigot. I have pulled, twisted, heaved. Nothing. It will not come out. I have replaced loads of these from above with no issue. I have the new one in my hand and it has nothing to show why it would stick. Any clues.

Hi,
Check #2 in this diagram RealOEM.com - Online BMW Parts Catalog That's what is keeping it snug inside. Quote:

Thank you. As I thought, it only has, what the diagram shows = a center post that the filter fits over. I will take a screwdriver to it next time. I had to give up this time. Close inspection of the old oil and the filter show that it has recently been changed (I just bought the car from a good dealer). He had replaced the air filter etc. So I am guessing they had also done done the oils. Anyway, as I only do a couple of thousand between changes it will be fine. FYI: The book and Google state 8 litres of oil? I think that this does not include the litre that sits in the filter housing? MIne took 9 litres to to reach the mid point on the dip stick.
