Having A Hard Time Installing My Oil Filter
Hi, Is it me? It seems I cannot get my oil filter to easily screw on. I am trying to install it through the tire well (most room) ; but, it does not want to screw on....almost like it's not properly aligning. Any help would be appreciated.
P.S Who thought of that little funnel thingy....still oils the starter when removing the filter!?!?!?

Change my own oil? Ewww. That stuff is known to cause cancer in lab rats according to the state of California. Actually, I'm lazy, so I let a buddy of mine who is a mechanic change it. I pull it into his shop, hand him my synthetic oil, a filter, let him change the oil, then hand him an ice cold MGD and a double cheeseburger from Mickey Ds and I'm on my way in under 10 mins. Another great part is all his repairs cost the same amount if it takes under an hour. Over an hour it costs a six pack for every two hours over one. It cost me a case of MGD to take out a tranny once, beat that without getting dirty. Best of all, unlike jiffy lube, he never asks me if I need new windsheild wipers, a new air filter, or a new flux-capcitor...

I've always changed my own oil in my Ranger. Then one Saturday I got lazy and took it to Firestone. 30 minutes later I leave not thinking anything to be wrong. The next morning I get up and attempt to drive to work and my engine seizes. I pop the hood and check the oil level to realize that there is no oil in my engine. Well, needless to say I haven't let anyone else change my oil since then, even though Firestone did buy me a new engine. I say it's worth getting a little dirty to do it yourself. That is the only way you can be sure it's been done right.

75% of the time i change my own oil the rest of the time ill send my son under it to do it for me and once every couple of years ill be either so busy or in too much pain to do it myself and ill take it to jiffy lube where my son worked and i know the guys and make them do it. They know better than to screw it up on me cause i will literally knock em senseless if they do lol
