Did my 2nd oil change on the bike today (1000kms). When I went to go take the filter bolt off, it just wouldn't budge. And I never torqued it overly hard last time because my torque wrench wasn't working. So after that oddity was over, I tried taking the filter cover off of the bolt and that wouldn't come off either! It would slide to the threads and it wasn't going anywhere. After playing with it for a good 20 min of trying to get it off, I decided to take a small piece of wood and knock the bolt out of the cover. Then, while wiping down the filter parts, I noticed that the washer that goes over the spring was warped.
Are these things I should be worried about??
