Remember my Truck-kun? The one I used to either go places or almost ram foids over (by accident since they dont look were they go)?
Well today I solved a 3 month old problem. That problem was a fucking pil leack. So today I thought I might as well change both the oil and solve the leack, got some gaskets, oil, and a new filter.
Thankfully I just blew 200$ on a new jack so I wont need to breack my back on my uncles overkill car jack any fucking more. And since its a 2002 MDX, the oil filter is behinds the passenger tire.
First problem. The drain plug on my vehicle is a metric 16. Not the drain plug that rock auto and Oreily thinks it is. So I had to borrow my grandmas car to go to like 3 stores to find a proper washer. Then I had to clean out some wierd puss colored shit on the plug and knife out some white shit on what looks like a fail attempt of a plastic grommet on the plug. After that I was able to put the plug back in. And now for the next part. The oil filter. At first I accidentally used the wrench on the wrong direction and then switched it. Just because the oil pan was drained deosnt mean the filter and what lies above that filter deos. So it got messy... Again. After that but before I could put on the new DENSO filter I decided to remove the bracket that holds the oil filter and replace the gasket. Just line the one on the old ass filter it was closer to a soft plastic then a real rubber gasket.
But suprise! There was another gasket that came with the origonal rubber gasket I got for the bracket. Turns out there a oil soilenoid so I had to torture my finger and for once in a life time use a actuall wrench or 10M instead of the socket & 3/8 ratchet. Especially the front 10M bolt. But I was able to replace it. Wile listening to Super Heaven (its basicly midwest rock). After that I made a big fucking mess trying tk put in 5W30 in my truck kun. Used the ladt role of paper towels to clean any mess oil so I can more easily ID any oil messes. And then my car made a weird noise when I ran it. Drived normally and I did like a 20 mile drive with the temp staying on the half mark. Oh and if you buy oil from auto zone, they drain out the shit oil for free. Thats why I got me a oil pan. Morral of the story, Im tired as shit, and big bulky vehicles are a bitch to work on. Such as a 2002 MDX. Oh and here is some pics of the old oil filter. The second I removed it oil gushed voilently enough to fling out the filter gasket.
A bit of advice, get disposible rubber gloves so that you can not need to wash your hands like I do. And have orange soap. Itll save you alot of bullshit. But hey, its cheaper then having a fucking mechanic fix it for me.
