Default When I was changing my oil filter the thing the oilfilter was screwed into moved

about a quarter turn.

It moved back when I was screwing it back in.

should I be worried about that?


BTW changing the oil filter from the top is the new hotness

iirc a 27mm/1 1/8" socket can tighten up the retaining nut
