Oil change - maybe a stupid question

[JoeLanger]

I use cheap oil, cheap filters, change regular. 3k miles at the most.

I find the engine runs a lot better after an oil change too.

And on a side note you're all sick fuckers, I flush everytime otherwise the house fucking stinks, especially if I've been on the beer the night before!

I use VIPoo

Mahle, Bosch, Fram, Genuine. Doesn't matter. They all do the job and you will change before 3,000 miles so you'll be fine with whatever you choose.

I like to use k&n filters as they have an ace 26mm hex at the top to aid changing, i change the filter every second oil change and change the oil every 3000 miles

I like the sound of that mark! Mashed mine up a bit yesterday as I wanted to knick it up a bit and used filter grips! Luckily they didn't puncture....just dented!

So much easier when you can just stick a socket on

I use a strap wrench, it’s great for removing all kinds of things with minimal effort or damage.

Strap wrenches are great but I've never had a car where one would work. Stock FD is too tight to get it in easier just to grab it

A good set of grippy gloves and get the elbow off is usually a good option but the filter grippers work well but you and only move about 5mm at a time because abs unit!

I use one of these for stuck filters

Ahh the one I was thinking of has a big lever, they look much more useful!

Still never had any issues with my big guns
