Hey Hank,

Just my two cent worth: been changing my oil since 19.....? Cant remember!

Been using this rather long crescent wrench for years. No stipped bolts or rounded heads. I just make sure to adjust for tight fit. Ive never had to replace a drain plug, and the only time I change a washer is when it rolls down the driveway and I dont feel like chasing after it. Never wiped one off either(I think I may start though).

What should be chiseled in granite here is: Dont forget to put oil fiter back on. Dont forget to put the drain plug back in. Dont over torque. Dont forget to put the oil in. Dont over fill. DO WATCH OUT FOR THE HOT EXHAUST MANIFOLD WHEN REMOVING THE FILTER!!!!! If I cant wait til it cools, I wear thick long sleeves and gloves.

Long live the brickboard.

Lawrence
