Twice during my ownership of my 16 5.7 I discovered the oil filter loose. The first time was after the dealership changed the oil. I towed a travel trailer 2400 miles to Florida and back and when i went to change the oil myself and found the filter spinning freely. I was amazed it didnt leak. Now I’m in Florida again and found oil spots beneath the truck and stressed as heck about it. I saw oil dripping from the filter and was able to tighten it about a quarter turn. This was after going to a pennzoil 10 minute place. I rarely do that. So now after going through this twice I wonder if it’s a characteristic of the truck. Going forward I’ll make it a point to check for tightness every so often. It’s most likely mechanic error but wonder if anyone else goes through this with their 5.7?
