    First Oil Change- WTF!

    Just did my first oil change and all I have to say is what in the sam hell were they thinking with that oil filter placement! Even using a big zip lock bag over the filter it was a mess. By far the worst oil filter placement I've ever seen on a vehicle and I've owned over 20 vehicles! Rant over.
