1,600 miles and just did my first oil change. Must have had a couple of gorillas building motors the day mine was put together. I needed a breaker bar to get the oil plug out. Talking about being nervous.
Then came the oil filter. Nearly blew an artery in my head trying to get the oil filter off. Finally gave up. As much as I hate to not change the filter, I didn't want to have to disassemble the motor to change the filter. Next oil change the dealer gets to do it. Let them fight with it.
For the life of me I can't figure out why the assembler at the factory would do this. Is it a joke that they chuckle about when they go home? wait til some idiot tries to take that filter off......heh..heh..heh..heh..snicker..snicker
