Decided to take a day off work today. Decided I'd go off to my local motor tax office and tax my car. Stuck in Dublin traffic for an hour, eventually get there and realise I've forgotten my wallet to pay the freakin thing. Bad start.
Ah well, I say, never mind. Car's due a 3000 mile oil change so I buy some synthetic oil and a Nissan oil filter an begin the jolly chore.
An hour and a half later with grazed knuckles, a useless new oil filter gripper and soaked to the bone by a day that decided to turn sodden I begin to wish I'd stayed at work.
How do you get that flaming filter off? There's sweet f.a. room to manoeuver, unlike my last S13. I presume there's a better gripper than the one I bought so somebody please point me in the right direction.
Also, as I'd drained out all the old oil before discovering my mechanical inadequacies, I now have new oil but an old oil filter as I needed to use it. Is this a problem for the next 3000 miles?
And does anyone know the meaning of life?
