Well now I don’t have to use a 3/8s anymore since I had to go buy a 27mm socket, haha.

Same here, no way did I want to admit defeat and go back to those asshats

it's very easy to believe that dealership techs either use an impact wrench or, since they have the car up in the air, put a breaker bar on it and give the oil filter a healthy yank. if it's on too tight the average customer doesn't know any better since it's coming back to them eventually anyways. if it's on too loose then it's oil on the ground and they're in trouble.

I requested at the dealership not to use a quick plumb when they changed my oil. I drove about 30 miles and was leaking oil. Took it back, they had used a quick plumb! They had to replace the oil pan on their dime!

Just changed my oil yesterday after doing it myself and switching to the metal filter housing and I'm happy to report that I had no issue breaking the filter cartridge free since I put it on

My local Toyota dealership (HENDRICK) paid oil techs $8.50 an hour in the throes of the recession. Doubt it’s much more now.
