which advance did you go to?

 

Not one near here. She lives in Central VA, Silly goose.

Oh yeah, use OEM filters for sure.

 

if it was the wrong filter, how did it fit in the first place?

 

That's why girls shouldn't work on cars.







J/k!!!! Go to Lowe's and they have this stuff (I think it's called Oil Eater) that you squirt on the driveway, let it sit for 10 min and then wash it way with a house. I used it on my garage and it worked very well.

 

Too short of a Filter, but has the right thread..

 

yeah now i know to double check...people that work at the advance i went to are idiots. i tried pressure washing it off...it def didn't work. i sprayed brake cleaner on it...then pressure washed...didn't work. i went out and bought another filter (this time i double and triple checked the number) and some more oil but it started to rain...so i have to wait and see if it doesn't rain tomorrow and then i will put the new oil filter in and try to clean up the mess.

thanks blah i will try to find that stuff at lowe's...

but i hope it works b/c i have like 4-5 quarts of oil spillage on the driveway

 

We also have some stuff at Home Depot (I work there) called Concrete Cleaner and Degreaser. I've honestly never used it because I've never had to, but I've recommended it to customers and I haven't had any negative feedback on it. It's in the paint department.

 

Advanced next to Panera bread? those people are irritable.

 

I dont understand how it would flow out then if it is threaded up and formed a seal regardless of how deep the filter is.

 

Well if the filter is too short but the right thread u can thread it up and it will stop cuz of no more filter to go thru and it can give the feel of being sealed and not actually being sealed.
