After I left for the states for a year. I came back and drove my car around the corner to a local shop for an oil change... cause it's been a year and I didn't want to drive it 500 miles home on oil that had been in the car over a year. While waiting I noticed the guy tightening the new filter on with a wrench and using muscle. I came out screaming, but it was too late. ever since I've got a small oil leak on any new oil filter always. I'm sure he screwed something up. That's why I'd rather do it myself, even if I have to learn some new things. It's hard to trust anybody. I trust the guys here on the forum way before I trust these local guys....
