This is why I do everything myself. My filters are never over tight because I'm the one screwing them on, not some $4 an hour illegal mexican at Jiffy Lube.

 

I agree with Bob, if you do your own service and work that you are confident you can do. Save the money but more important get the piece of mind that you did it right and you know that your filter was in fact changed. on my 06 Hemi I did no thave time for one oil change and I took it to Brakes plus. told them I need 5-20 for mds and told them full synthetic. I work 4 blocks from there. I picked it up at lunch and when I got to work looked at the repair orde, it said 5 quarts of 10/30. I was upset so I went to my truck pulled the dipstick and it was low (takes over 7 quarts) I took it back, asked them why they used a wrong grade. The manager told me that 5-20 does not exist. we got into it. I got a fresh change with 5-20 that someone had to go buy.

 

That Plastic filter wrench is CRAP! It broke the second I put pressure on it. I'll be buying one of those strap wrenches next time.
At least I think we are talking about the same thing. The CRAP I am talking about is the big plastic cap that fits like a socket over the end of the filter. It may work on the one I installed my self but it aint gonna budge the factory one or the one that "Pedro" tightened on at the dealer.

 

The crazy thing is that he did it twice. I mean he had to feel it hit something solid the first time, and then he went and did it again.

 

The guy is probably a member on here. Heisn't speaking up know but wait a couple weeks and you'll read about it in a"Dodge's Warranty Sucks" thread.

 

They put clear coat on the filter seal.Lubes it up like oil when it's wet and they spin it onthen it driesandwe're in for some DIY fun on that firstcummins oil change [:@]

 

So, so true.

Update, after replacing the "defective" parts, the truck started and ran....for now. Waiting to see for how long...
"All I did was change the oil and now the truck has no oil pressure, must be a defect somewhere"
UH.. OK.. Yeah
