Oil Change????

[natcc99]

hmmmm.... I never really thought of that myself.
I just hand tight it because it's a known fact that people pass around.
Especially considering that you'll have a hard time taking it off if you tighten it with a wrench.

My cousin, who owns his own shop, (yes, he's my favorite cousin) ...... has a specialized wrench because when you use it, it completely crushes the oil filter!!!!!!!!
Of course, oil pours out like mad, but it's only used when nothing else works.

You're suppose to hand tighten everything almost.
The oil filter and the oil drain nut (with a small turn of a wrench)
Anything MORE and you might strip the threads

It's not so bad stripping the threads where the oil drain bolt is because you simply replace the oil pan.
I've done that twice now My oil pan is actually from a 5th gen Accord from a junk yard When I first bought the car, the threads were already pre-stripped. (of course, I was no informed about this when buying the car)
The other time was because when we fixed the problem with a new oil pan, we didn't use the correct bolt. OOPS.

Anyways..........to my point........ (sorry for running off on a tangent)
It's ok to strip the threads on your oilpan because you can just replace it.
However......if you strip the threads where you oil filter is........UM...let me say that you're SCREWED!!!


ok...all done. this post is way to long. hope it wasn't boring

yeah thats one thing i hate abotu accords, back when my dad used to have my car, he left it at the gas station tons of times. one time he left the one from my moms old car on the pump while we were on vacation. they need to do the little plastic wire thingy that keeps the gas cap on the car like what my mom van has.
