This thread just reminded me of the only time someone else ever touched the oil filter on my car. The first time I went to change the oil, I changed it and then went to change the filter. . . the thing was on there but TIGHT. I couldn't even get it with a strap wrench! I went to the local corner lube shop and told them I wanted them to JUST change the filter and replace it with the one I supplied. It took some convincing but they did it. In retrospect, I could have driven a screwdriver through the filter and used that for a handle, but if that failed to get it loose . . . owned.gif

Hey Guys
Went to Hyundai and got a oil change. My Tib was Quiet when in there shop. Brought it home and it knocks again..
It ONLY knocks in idle. When I rev the car I don't hear any knocks.

So Hyundai did a change for you now?
The old filter probably lowered your oil pressure, leading to HLA's that needed oil. Under rev, the car has more pressure. Go out and drive your car normally for about 20 or 30 minutes, see if it goes away.
It should.
If not, and you have a OEM filter and the right oil level, you may have a bad HLA or two.
