987687 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 The thing that really chaps my rump roast is when Mr. Strapwrench puts the oil filter on. I recently bought a new (to me) car (sorry not a subaru). As I always do, go and change the fluids first off. I had an absolute hell of a time getting the oil filter off... Who thought it was acceptable to put the stupid thing on that tight? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp98 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) Sometimes oil filters just get stuck on for some reason. I had one that I had to take a air hammer to, and I put it on. I have no ides of what happened with it, no oil on the gasket, which I doubt, or something else. It just refused to come off.

987687 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I've never had a hard time getting one off that I put on. This car did sit for 2 years without being used, though. Maybe that had something to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThosL Posted October 4, 2017 Author Share Posted October 4, 2017 I was just looking at my sister's bill from Valvoline, instant oil change in Norwalk. $81.85; add ons were two 1157 light replacements and a drain plug gasket. Valvolline MaxLife 5 w 30 oil. Just crazy. I tell her over and over again she drives like "grandma Millie" why is she going there every 3 months at the longest?
