tried to change my oil and ended up using 4 hours to do a simple oil change...
as usual i undo the sump nut and let the oil flow out...
next the bloody oil filter... took like 30 mins before it finally came loose.... THERE IS NO ROOM TO UNDO IT!!! anyone out there with a better technique?? Pls share...
looked at it and the dealer who did it DID NOT HAVE A GASKET on it...
put that away and screw on my new filter...
pour in the oil start the engine...
OMG... oil just start flowing out from the oil filter...
stopped the car clean up the mess...
took another 15min to undo the filter
put it in again... SAME THING!!!!!
after the thrid try it was all good...
what i am trying to tell everyone is that screwing on the oil filter might sound simple enough although i did like at least 5 different cars in the past 2 years but its NOT... What i think happened was that the thread on the Honda oil filter or maybe its the oil pump has like really fine thread... which misleads you that the filter is actually in and tight... the fact and what i guess happened was that i screwed in the filter twice at the marginally wrong angle which leads to the waterfall or should i say OILFALL..
