Some days you have no luck.
Started the prep work for storage. Washed the car and then went to change the oil and the first bit went nice and easy until the end which then made a Gigantic mess. Turns out I had a bad oil filter (k&n 2004 same as the one it was replacing) that would not seat. It screwed on and felt like it tightened up but in reality it hadn't. Started the car and no oil pressure and in the 10 to 15 seconds it ran dumped about 3 quarts of oil on the ground. Uninstalled the new filter put the old one back on it went back on perfectly opened up a new case of the oil moss sells and found that every one of the bottles had leaked in the plastic bags and coated the bottles. Cleaned up that slimy mess and poured in 3 quarts. Started the car up no leaks and good pressure. Tomorrow I'll get a replacement filter. So a job that should of taken about 15 minutes took an hour and made a heck of a mess. Also found I have a leaking valve cover gasket so that will be fixed in the morning and it's back to the carwash to degack the engine from this evenings fun.
