2009 AVeo5 new oil filter doesn't fit - SOLVED

[nubbin00]

The oil filter is supposed to clip into the plastic oil filter cover you took off; my suggestion is to just pull on your old filter until it comes off the anti drain back shaft. If you can, could you take pictures of the old filter as it sits?

You are correct! Upon further inspection, the top of the filter was still clipped into the oil filter cover. So I popped it out with a screwdriver and clipped the new filter to the cap. Just that easy! Thanks for your help.
