Yes problem! On our 1980 300D, the oil filter canister lid popped off due to stripped threads on the securing studs following an oil change. We knew this because the car created a huge oil slick as it was being driven away from the shop lift. The mechanic refilled with new oil and was able to re-attach the lid with old nuts, and I drove the car for a couple days (very carefully!) until the new canister could be ordered from the dealer. I think this was a result of over-torquing the oil filter canister nuts but since someone else did the work and it was many years ago, I cannot be certain... Too bad Marshall isn't around to let us know how common this problem is...

Lee, The included "crush washers", one brass, one white metal, are for the oil pan bolt...... For the 116, use the brass "crush" washer....... If you are using an oil sucker, just put the washers in the extra nut/bolt/washer bottle or whatever..... In my 16 years of owning my '80 300SD, I never used a torque wrench on the oil filter "cap" nuts....... Just snugged them down. Never had a problem.
