Don’t Overtighten Your Oil Filter

Just don’t f-ing do it. Especially if you’re gonna sell me your car.

stuck oil filter aftermath

That’s the aftermath of the screwdriver method. The screwdriver method:

  1. Hammer screwdriver into oil filter. (Hot) oil will drain/spurt out on you.
  2. Using screwdriver for leverage, twist oil filter as far as space allows (‘91 Acura Integra: ~1/16 turn).
  3. Cuss and grunt, repeat.

Brits and Cyclists

Have you done the test? Two thoughts about the test:

  1. Why are Brits so much more damn funny that Americans?
  2. Please, please, please, please… we’ve had a rash of tragedy after tragedy hit the Bay Area cycling community in the last month, and it’s getting worse. Be alert. The life you save – that may be mine.
