Oil change

[s_j]

Well we decided the capri needed an oil change on friday so i went round the local road runner got the filter and oil and did the change at the inlaws (we have no space to work at ours) we drove it home and left it for the night. Sat morning i went off to work in the banger and left my partner cleaning the capri when i got back he was just finishing (i was only in for a cuple of hours) so i sat on the wall watching him, once finished he moved the car just slightly and then it happened!! oil all over the road you can imagine what i was like, i screamed so loud for him to turn the engine off i think they could hear me in the next town, we had a look and it was coming from the filter.

 

Turns out my partner dosnt know his own strength he had tightened it to tight he squashed the rubber seal so there was an opening

 

So a £35 oil change ended up a £60 oil change
