Hi bjm.
Do you mean the filters look twisted?

I have seen this happening on various videos showing a filter change on the OM642. I can only assume that the filter is dragging on the filter housing and is being twisted as the filter and cap are screwed home.

I did wonder if being twisted compromised the pleats and made them less efficient.
