Oil change excitement

[algin5109]

So changing oil this morning. Always do it myself except for the last one which was done by dealer when they replaced head, which explains why I had to use wrench to loosen oil filter. Take skid plates off and some where hard to loosen so I cleaned bolts and nuts with wire brush and drill. So draining oil and walk away to get washer fluid and come back and oil all over driveway. Forgot to unscrew drain plug in top of oil catch pan. Hmmmm. So I clean up,put everything back together and fill with oil. Checking oil level one last time and push dipstick to hard and it bends into + battery terminal which cover has been long broken off. Few sparks. Little smoke but luckily now electrical problems. Burnt couple strands off of dipstick. Next mod battery terminal cover.

I think after a morning like that you need to step away from the truck for a while. Carefully step away.

I did my oil change on Friday. Autozone had a special for oil, oil and airfilters combo so i did it. Mine was a little more successful though. Only prob I had was couldn't get the filter off either so I had to do the old punch a whole in the filter with a screw driver and turn it. Makes a little bit of a mess.
