RE: Oil Change
DEFINATELY get rid of the Fram !! Take it off, get a new filter, fill it with fresh oil and install it. Place an order with geno's for some fleetguard filters and while you're at it order one of these. Next time, you'll be able to change your oil in a tuxedo and not get dirty. Your driveway will thank you.

RE: Oil Change
Dang Mayfair, that is tight. What is it called? I'm going to get my new filter today after work, you guys have me sh**ing bricks over here and the truck isn't even running. I'm not a fan of stuff sticking out under the truck though. I'm trying to get the shaft of a grease fitting out of my passenger lower control arm that was broken when I hit who knows what. Anyone have any ideas on that? Its broken of flush if not more into the hole. Nothing to grip with plyers. I think the oil pan is high enough that I wouldn't break that valve off, it would be worth the risk so I dont have another spill though, lol. Thanks

RE: Oil Change
Tried the muratic acid out. Dang you guys weren't kidding, thats some strong stuff. However it ate through the concrete a little more than i would of liked, and the oil a lot less than i would of liked. Made progress though, I can now see white through the black, which is a big step. Lots left to go, gonna have to borrow a power washer from my brother, maybe be able to get it by friday. I also changed out that fram with a wix. Still can believe that the fram is a POS, but if Drew says something about it, its not bs. Thanks a lot everyone
