If you have 20w50 oil in your motor with a HD pump and a bosch filter you can blow them off fairly easy. Try using a HP1 (Fram) or similar filter. These have a double wall and will not blow off like the stock filters.

Oil line outlets on the pump should be marked as well as the filter bracket.

Nobody should be using 20W-50 this time of year. If I was to do an oil change now, I'd use 5W-30.
