And just a note, most newer cars have their oil filter on top of the engine
And newer cars have an inner cylinder that is the filter with an exterior lid that you do not dispose of, just snaps onto the lid, very easy

2017-09-07 03:50:28 UTC  

So you're just changing out the filter element, then?

2017-09-07 03:50:39 UTC  

Yes

2017-09-07 03:50:47 UTC  

nice

2017-09-07 03:51:07 UTC  

The process is very simplistic and avoids an unnecessary mess from dripping oil

2017-09-07 03:51:26 UTC  

yeah, I like it. I haven't encountered that yet but it makes sense.

2017-09-07 03:51:32 UTC  

o-ring gets replaced as well, comes in the box

2017-09-07 03:51:36 UTC  

that just sits on the lid

2017-09-10 19:32:49 UTC  

@Deleted User Why not connect your neg cable to the dead neg terminal?

2017-09-10 19:35:45 UTC  

I was always taught it was safer to do it that way.

2017-09-10 19:36:08 UTC  

Supposedly there's a non-zero chance of a battery explosion if you connect directly to the terminal.

2017-09-10 19:36:14 UTC  

That will severely hamper your game

2017-09-10 19:36:16 UTC  

Ah ok gotcha

2017-09-10 19:36:40 UTC  

Yeah, setting a girl's car on fire is not a good ice-breaker.

2017-09-10 19:37:31 UTC  

When the lady asks you why you're not connecting to the terminal, just give her the Marlboro man look, a quick nod, and continue with what you're doing.

2017-09-10 19:37:48 UTC  

That brings your chances from ~85 up to 100%

2017-09-10 19:41:59 UTC  

It's also a good time to wink I hear.

2017-09-10 19:42:26 UTC  

"Why aren't you connecting to the terminal?" Wink. Start car. Game on.

2017-09-10 19:42:37 UTC  

Hmmm, see that's tricky

2017-09-10 19:43:04 UTC  

Keep in mind I've been married for 13 years so I'm way out of that frame of mind, but here's my perspective:

2017-09-10 19:43:12 UTC  

You can't go wrong either way, BUT

2017-09-10 19:43:40 UTC  

jump-starting a car puts you in the frame of a savior.

2017-09-10 19:43:51 UTC  

For that window of time, you're more than a man

2017-09-10 19:44:12 UTC  

You're resurrecting a dead machine and helping a lady in distress.

2017-09-10 19:44:19 UTC  

If you wink, you're revealing a human element

2017-09-10 19:44:56 UTC  

If you barely acknowledge her instead and act like nothing can disrupt your focus and attention on this "critical" task, you don't break that frame

2017-09-10 19:47:49 UTC  

But again, I've been married since Christ was a corporal so I could be rusty on this matter. 😃

2017-09-10 21:23:53 UTC  

I use my batteries from my power tools to jump cars. I have 2 pieces of copper wire I stick into the slots in the battery and attach the other ends to the terminals. Works the first time every time.

2017-09-11 01:17:46 UTC  

That's how you do it.

2017-09-11 01:38:32 UTC  

badass

2017-09-11 01:45:45 UTC  

The first time someone told me to do that I thought they were messing with me for a laugh. But when the engine turned over I was dumbfounded.

2017-09-11 01:46:06 UTC  

I never would have thought of it, but it makes sense!

2017-09-16 16:47:26 UTC  

Anyone know how to change a tire on a motorcycle

2017-09-18 22:51:38 UTC  

Going back through and looking. @JohnStrasser you get your bike tire changed?

2017-09-18 22:52:13 UTC  

Probably gonna have someone do it for me. Labor is actually kind of cheap

2017-09-23 05:08:31 UTC  

Crap just seen this for some reason. If thats the case I don't blame you. But if you ever need help with it shoot me a pm.

2017-09-23 15:39:14 UTC  

@JohnStrasser you need stands for the bike, a valve core tool, something to break the bead (a big plastic chisel and hammer can work but there's a tool that attaches to the wheel and uses leverage which is much easier to use), a tire iron/spoon to lever the tire off and back on the wheel, soapy water, compressed air to seat the beads on the new tire, and a balancing stand. It's a couple hundred bucks investment for the tools so it won't pay itself off until you do a few sets. It's nice to not have to trust some guy you don't know with your life, though.

What's up gentlemen, I'll be picking up from the last goy to help maintain our Mechanic portion of this server.
