 |  $12 part= $7000 lawn decoration
Well, the lacky who installs the oil flters at Suzuki seems to have missed a critical step, oiling the gasket. Decided try to change the oil again tonight, using the advice the mech at my dealer gave me, bought a strap wrench like he said and drained the oil. Cranked it down, following the directions to the "T." Heard a creek, thought I finally had it. Nope, it instead crushed the filter, and put a small hole in it.  Leaving me with a $7000 machine I can't use because of a $12 part... I'll try again tomorrow, it got dark and I didn't have enough cigarettes to not start throwing tools... so much for Zen I suppose... Any suggestions, I'm trying to avoid the screw driver can opener method as I live in an apartment building, all though I could get one of those cookie sheet drip pans and those oil absorbers I suppose.. |
