4. Have Jiffy Lube attendant pull you into the garage to tell you why so and so should be fixed/replaced/drained/flushed/serviced and it will only come to $269, because he's giving you a ten dollar discount!
 

Hopped in our suburban today(i never ever ever drive it)and wow. 7k OVER! Totally ridiculous! Changed the oil right after school today and I feel much better about driving it.
 
Soooo, in Portland, Or. you hammer a screwdriver thru the filter, eh? Here in Florence, Or. I just grab the filter and un-screw it. :lol: :lol: LBR
 

Ha, I don't even have enough room to get a screw driver up through the filter in any of my vehicles. A filter wrench is a must here.

I've never had to put a screwdriver in one. I always just twist them off with my hand. I got a big ol set of meathooks though. Great for twisting off an oil filter and such but you ought to see me try to do minute tasks like threading a needle or buttoning a tab collar on a dress shirt... it's pathetic.

Ya, they really shouldn't ever be on there all that tight anyways. Usually just a quarter turn (by hand) after the seal on the filter makes contact.


Oh man, me and the buttons on dress shirts don't get along with each other.
