[V8] Oil Change woes!!! Filter stuck!

[Greg Furstenwerth]

Yeah the threaded union... it was not damaged so they just reused it. I
dont know what swift oil place did that more than likely the asshats at
German Car Specialists as the plate cover lists that, airbag service
done there as well as alot of other things. I think the previous owner
took it there. I will never go there myself... Now this is only
speculation as it could be jiffy lube or greasemonkey?

Anyway just glad its done
