Stopped by the junkyard in El Paso and saw a whole row of cars with their oil filters still on
Made me realize how many people probably skip the easiest maintenance. I pulled one off a Civic in about 30 seconds with my strap wrench. Anyone else find good practice parts at the yard?
Honestly, the real test is when you forget to check if the old filter gasket came off. Tbh I spent another half hour confused about a tiny oil leak before I saw the old rubber ring stuck to the engine. That one mistake taught me more than getting the oil changed right. You really do learn the hard way.
