In was changing my regular oil today and the oil filter wouldn't budge. The damn mechanic put it on to hard again. So I got the screwdriver and It wouldn't stay in enough to turn it. Basically ripped the whole filter off except fot the very bottom piece that screws onto the car. So now, 10 hours later it's sitting on jack stands in the parking lot of my apartment complex with no oil in it and no way to get that damn piece off. I hate the location of the oil filter in our cars. So i was never actually able to get to the transmission oil change. Going to have to have the car towed to the mechanic and hope he can use a dremo or somthing to get it off.


Man I guess 114k is a lot of miles for a '00 .
