This sounds like the elbow mount is loose and swiveling up.And why does the whole filter swivel up?
That is a good filter, Napa 1773 is a cross reference. I use it and like the extra oil capacity.By the way, there is another filter that works on this engine and is 2" longer, which gives you better access and filter performance. It's the Baldwin BT251, and it still tucks up nicely but gives you better grip access, a little better oil cooling, and Baldwin is known for heavy truck industrial filters. They are available on Amazon for about $12.
Go to harbor freight and get this oil wrench! I had the same problem and this does the trick..You can get one like it from Hope Depot and its made by Huskey..I can't get oil filter off. I tried a screwdriver in the bottom of it and still no luck. And why does the whole filter swivel up?
