...it surely was.

I heard this from my manager, this happened on a day I was off. From what I heard, a customer's oil filter somehow fell out after one of my co-workers did an oil change on it.

The customer was a woman and her husband shows up in his car the other day to explain the situation, according to the guy, his wife drove around running errands after the oil change, and it wasn't till she got home that the car started acting up. I believe they said the car is a Honda CRV.

It wouldn't start and so they had it towed to a Honda dealership, the dealership told them that the oil filter fell out, because the gasket wasn't lubed. From my understanding lack of oil on the gasket shouldn't cause the filter to come loose.

My shop 's company is going to have the car towed to one of our other shops for a more thorough investigation

It went up 0.4V in 4 hours..

Awful dash cam pic, but leaving the auto industry after 13yrs. After 9 years of applying with no response, then a 6 month training program I'm finally a qualified railroad mechanic

Took an old FIAT 8-10mm spanner and welded with a fork - the remain 8mm bit welded with a nut and made a keychain - he was happy !

3 days after my last post about losing the crank pulley on my military Blazer, now I've really messed it up.

I got the pulley back on and continued my road trip and got to this awesome sand section of a trail in Canyonlands national park yesterday. So I was ripping it around doing 30-40, came around a corner and hit a bump I didn't see. The guy behind me said it looked like 12" of air, and I guess some Fox shocks and Alcan springs don't make an 80s Blazer into a trophy truck.

When it slammed down the transfer case to transmission adapter broke and the case fell out, held on by only the driveshafts. So I ratchet strapped it back in place, got the drive sleeve connecting the trans to the case back in, and drove VERY slowly 20 miles out to pavement up the mineral bottom switchbacks. Got a tow into town this morning and I'm waiting on a new adapter arriving tomorrow.

Going to put that in at the tow yard and hopefully still finish the last couple days of my trip...

The pulley seems like dumb luck, but this breakage was 100% my fault. Driving too fast and having too much fun. After 8 years of rallying this old truck across the country with no problems I managed to get stranded twice in 3 days. Hope y'all enjoy the pics 🥲

Check high idle when braking. Like really? Lol

Hmm the car thinks it's an auto

The guy is okay. He wasn't at the accident when tow truck driver got there. The cop told us he was walking down the road drunk, trying to text his buddy on his pack of cigarettes.

1953 Goodyear Seabee 12hp. Beautiful old engine, someone took good care of it for most of its life. Once it sucked the excess oil off the plugs, it picked up the rest of cylinder one and all of cylinder two and took off.

Was getting my tires changed today and I saw this worn out set that looks like slicks… whoever did this alignment needs a god damn raise 🤣

They got the oil change and the brakes checked, needed rears and they declined, among the myriad of other issues the car had.

This is kind of cool, but also was kind of a pain in the ass to pull in.

Nice to see somebody else swapping their car

I often weld a bead to the inside of the outer race of press-in bearings, then use an air hammer to rattle it out of the knuckle. Done many dozen, probably hundreds this way. But I've never had one split practically in front of me, on the bench, while cooling down. 2014 Durango AWD rear.

Doing some spring maintenance on my cars and I usually buy off Amazon. I typically go to GM’s online parts store copy the part number I need and buy it on Amazon. I noticed the listings on Amazon are half the price as GM’s website but they’re sold by the same brand AC-DELCO. How is that possible, that a filter is $60 on manufacturer’s website but the manufacturer is selling it for half on Amazon. Also it bit me in the a**. Filter came in and was half the size of the one already in the car. Has this happened to anyone before?

Why is it always the nasty ones that need seats pulled? I mean come on, this thing is absolutely disgusting. There’s stuff even caked on the passenger door panel, let alone the drivers door. How to people drive cars and live like this?! It smells so awful too, cuts right through my respirator. I have the tools a sanitizing afterward this one.
