So I just had my first experience to the ecoboom situation!! When the engine blew the oil filter broke off at the threads and number 3 cylinder rod went through both sides of the block. I took my car to the dealer and they said that when I changed the oil 600 miles ago, I overtightened the oil filter. They said that it must have cracked the treads and that's why it broke off and they denied the warranty!!!
Has anybody ever heard of this?? I always put the oil filter on hand tight. I can't see myself overtightening it that much to cause the threads to crack.
I'm trying to find out who to contact to help push the warranty through because this is clearly the fault of the engine.
