1300 miles... I went to change the factory oil filter and it was on way too tight to remove by hand thanks to the industrially trained gorillas in Gunma... started the ol' "hammer a screwdriver into the filter to torque it off" trick. Hammering wasn't working well so I pulled out the electric drill, made a big ol' hole, inserted said screwdriver and got that mutha off.
Then went to lift the car from the front and found that my large heavy duty floor jack (family heirloom from my dad) won't fit under the front ... will scrape the underside by about 0.25". So I didn't change the oil yet, decided to go look at ramps and/or a low profile floor jack. Then later in the day found a few scrap pieces of 2x4 wood that should help me raise the front just enough to get the jack under there. Getting late so I guess I will do the oil change tomorrow...
