Ive changed my oil a bunch and have never had this happen. The oil filter screws on about 2 rotations, then gets really hard to turn. Thought it was the wrong size, but it is XG2
I struggled to get the filter onto the threads for a few minutes before I was only able to screw it on 2 rotations.
Did I strip the threads? should I go grab another filter.

Thank You!

 

Well check the threads and if they are fine, try another filter.

 

I'd just grab another filter. Does your old one thread back on okay?

 

This works too

 

get a motorcraft FL-820S if its a 4.0 or an FL-400 if it is a 3.0 and throw that fram or whatever away

Is the old gasket still stuck on it?
