It appears that around 2008 the "clowns" at Chevrolet decided to change the oil filter thread from 3/4"U.N.F.x16 to M18. PLEASE be aware of this, the "older" filter will fit but can come loose with the inevitable dire consequences. It has happened to us, 1 ruined engine and a very unhappy customer! We have also heard of other cars with the wrong filter fitted at some point, the Matiz and some Vauxhalls come to mind. The CORRECT filter is stamped "18" next to the thread. PLEASE BE WARNED & AWARE!
