…for putting the mother&\*@^ing oil filter on too tight at the factory. Four new cars and EVERY one has had the filter on so damn tight that I can’t get it off without a fight. Do they just ignore the 3/4 turn rule? Pisses me off beyond belief. And I can’t find my damn filter wrench. :mad: :bash: :madfawk: :mrT: :slap: :wtf: :reloading :weak: :nono: :rant: That is all. ---

I remember allot of time piercing the filter with my filter pliers and getting oil all over my self cause the factory filter is still on so f-ing tight. ---

i used to have issues with my 00s10 and AC delco filters. i had to cut off so many. then i just switched over to K&N. they have that nut on there makes it so much easier and are better filters ---

yep, instead of a wrench you can just use your socket/rachet and get it off. and it seems to be built a little better also ---

The drain plug is weird too in the '05 Grand Prix. It’s aimed a lot more horizontally, so you can’t get a socket on it. And the oil shoots out instead of down so I missed the catch pan. ---
