I didn't have a big-*** socket handy, so I used a set of big-*** pliers. I didn't need much torque, just a bit more leverage to get it loose.
The Mann is under $9 from rockauto.com, seems like a no-brainer to go with that if it's identical to the OEM part for $30+!
You're exactly right - fill through the oil fill cap, not through the filter housing. I posted a few weeks after we actually did the oil change, and I was going off (apparently faulty ) memory; post edited above.
You got this too! I used Mann HU514Y but switched to the OEM for the first time after 6 oil change intervals. The OEM oil filter from the Dealer cost $32 after CA tax and guess what? There is no discernable difference between the OEM and Mann HU514Y that I could tell except for the price. Your call...

I did my oil change today. The service indicator stated i was 110 days overdue. But I do not drive the car that much as I had another vehicle as my daily driver. I typically just reset the reminder and change by mileage numbers. Anyway I let the service reminder go 110 days before today's oil change and reset.
I don't know why but I go through the whole reset procedure and confirm at the end, and the computer says it is unable to confirm reset now. It will not reset.
Does anyone know why or how I fix this. Please help.
Thanks Bryan
