Changing the oil on my 09 Aveo5 and the new oil filter (STP S10246XL) doesn't fit. My current filter seems to be held in place by a threaded plastic shaft which screws into the bottom of the filter housing. The bottom of the current filter has a plastic base but the top is just paper, no plastic. However, the new filter has a plastic base on top and bottom and 4 plastic tabs which prevent the threaded shaft from attaching to the housing. I've checked other stores/websites and all brands of filters seem to be the same. Am I missing something simple? How do I make the new filter fit or am I just using the wrong filter entirely?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
