Changed the oil in the car today

[wxfisch@lemmy.world]

Changed the oil in our main daily driver, probably was a bit earlier than strictly necessary but it was past the service mileage stipulated in the manual and it’s above freezing finally. Managed to not make a mess and didn’t run into any issues. Even torqued the drain plug to within spec. Then got it washed to get rid of the salt crust from the past few weeks and wash out any oil drips from the filter the got on top of the plastic air guard.

Did you replace the crush washer or just give it the side eye and say "yeah its good enough for another go" and put the original back on.

Got oil and a filter sitting in the garage. Been waiting for a warmer day. Looks like I might finally get one this week.
