Be sure to click on SHOW MORE for the "solution". After spending about 5-6 hours on my first John Deere Easy Change 30-Second Oil Change System, I finally got it to work. This involved 3 trips to the dealer for 3 different filters AUC12916 and two calls to John Deere.

SOLUTION (SORT OF) First off, the old filter is very hard to get off. Use gripper gloves (I used dish washing gloves) and you will have to mess with it. After my last call to John Deere in which I was told people were having problems with it, I realized it was not going to go as the demo videos showed. You have to use gripper gloves and you will have to "mess" with it because the filters out of the box don't quite fit right. So you have to kind of feel when it is in the correct spot. By "correct spot", if you turn it and you get a hard stop, that isn't it. The "correct spot" for me was when I did not get a hard stop. It felt like maybe with some more pressure it would go on. When you get a hard stop, try moving left, right, up, down, and eventually you will get it to where it will turn and lock into place. Note that it is also a real pain to get it off and you again will have to mess with it. I had to make sure it would come off due to warranty issues. You might just want to fight the battle getting it off when it is due for a change. However, once you get it on and off, it seems to be "broken in" and will operate as shown in the demos. Sorry I don't have a better answer, but knowing that you have to mess with it can save you some return trips to the store where you will get another one that does the same thing. John Deere really needs to fix this.
