OK - i was changing the oil in my 560SL, and ended up screwing the bolt in crooked.

It seems that the 'thing' the bolt screws into, is replaceable.

Where do you suggest I find the part number.

Then I'll ask Pelican Parts if they have the part. It seems to have a bolt about 1 inch wide, that I could unscrew.

Summary:

The oil filter housing bolt screws into something - please suggest how I can order a new one. I got the screw in, but next oil change I don't want to risk a bad thread - off center. What is the part number for the thing the oil filter bolt screws into.

Thanks
