so I changed my oil today and getting everything tight. I didn't have all my tools but I did with what I had. So I spilled a little oil and was moving the car back. well after I started it I heard something wierd sounded like a vaccum line came off. First thing I do is turn off the car and look and see that oil is everywhere. I'm pissed now that I have to drive the toyota that over heats to walmart and get new oil and a filter. Lesson learnt: don't do your oil with out all your tools.

 

What tool were you missing?

A brain, apparently. There's nothing involved in changing a Honda's oil that you can't do with the belt around your jeans and a 17mm wrench.

 

He prly doubled gasketed the oil filter, or used the wrong sized wrench and though the plug was tight.

 

happened again yes it doubled gasketed the filter... and I was suppose to go out tonight. well another trip to walmart. What oil do you guys recommend for use with a turbo car and ohio cold weather?

Good practice to check it for double gasket (sticking of the old gasket). No tools needs, just common sense.

 

yea it was dark and I wasn't thinking... just in a hurry. Boy did I waste a lot of money

 

What tool prevents that? A magnifying glass in case you're wearing glasses to check the old oil filter?

 

thats sucks bro...

 

He couldn't change his oil properly because he must have been missing the oil filter automatized facilitator

 

happens to the best fo us....

I've seen tech's who have been doing it for decades slip!

lol

 

this coming from a guy with a turbo on his car who uses a walmart filter and cant do a oil change cause he forgot to check his tools ahead of time?

 

Ive always coat the gasket with oil. Never had one stick or leak. Ever.

 

**** happens. at least there wasnt a customer watching you do it to their car.

We had about 7-8 cars in back getting tires, oil changes, batteries etc etc. I was in back working with a customer with an electrial issue in her taillights. I see a Tech back a car off of the oil change rack, and as he starts to pull forward you can see the oil just pouring out. I yelled for him to stop, and as this is happening the customer comes out, his eyes are the size of golfballs. I though he was gonna **** a brick. We got it all cleaned up, offered him Mobile 1, and 3 free oil changes. We obvioulsly cleaned up the motor as well for him. The tech was someone I could trust with any task, he made a mistake and thats all it was. I have done it once, but I will never do it again lol

ya ya, **** happens, you learned your lesson, no damage done, all is well, maybe just a little red in the face.


I would recommend 5W30 for cold weather.

 

twice in one sitting. never work on your car if your mind is into doing something else.

you got lucky this time.

 

how do you double gasket the filter? (honest question, not trying to mock anybody)

by using shitty Fram oil filters, when you pull the old filter off the gaskets stick to the block and when you put the new filter on it doesnt seal right
