I have been buying Wix WL10290XP filters from O'Reillys using the $5 off $10 coupons I've collected. Today I go to change the oil in my GM and pour a little oil in the filter and lube the o-ring. I tried to install the filter but it was clear it wasn't threading on. Upon closer examination it looks like the wrong baseplate was installed, or the wrong filter sticker was applied during manufacture. The filter I took off has a '22' stamped on the baseplate and the incorrect filter has a '3/4' stamp. I emailed their customer service asking what to do. I told them I don't think I can return the bad filter to O'Reillys because it has oil in and on the filter.
I noticed after I purchase the filter that it has a different amount of holes, but that's not unusual in the filter business. Date code 030918 E1 1116
