Post your latest oil change

[vavavroom]

After not being able to rustle up this thread and after posting in a related thread yesterday, I have found this thread here at least. Today, the search function worked fine. Weird that it didn't work yesterday. A glitch in the matrix, I suppose. Anyway, repost:

Miss Moneypenny got an oil and filter change at 63k miles yesterday.

Old Rotella jug for and red funnel for the old oil. An adjustable bungee strap to keep the coolant expansion tank out of the way. A 10 mm socket for the bolt that holds the expansion tank, an 8 mm Allen bit for the drain plug, a 27 mm socket for the oil filter housing. A 6" extension, two ratchets, and one breaker bar. Oil filter, o-ring, copper washer. The grey funnel is for the fresh oil. I'll ley you shiver with anxiety whether or not I used a torque wrench for the drain bolt and filter housing.

The tank has to be moved out of the way because the filter housing is in a slightly challenging position if you have adult-size hands. The oil filter housing is somewhat visible behind the coolant hose. Look inside the red circle.

I'll spare you the messy oil pics You all have seen old oil.

Aftermarket dipstick that can be read unlike the OEM one

My engine is pretty ungrateful. I’m thinking we probably need to go to therapy but I’m really not sure if it’ll be open to the idea.
