I have A 1996 GMC pickup that I use for most everything including pulling the trailer that I haul my Tractors on. Being an old Aircraft mechanic and lot's of years working on cars,trucks and tractors I am A bit fussy about checking and changing oil. Last Saturday I took my truck to one of our fine dealers in this area to get the oil changed.Tuesday I noticed A fresh oil spot on my drive way,so I looked under and the leak seemed to be in the filter area. I started the truck and got under to see what was happening and there was a steady drip coming from the filter mounting area. Iwent and got another filter and proceeded to remove the filter the put on,I already knew it was tight. I had to use all my strength to loosen the filter and when I did get it off all th paint on the mounting rim was stripped off! I put on the new filter and topped off the oil so It's Ok now. I am happy to see these young people at work in these places,but do they ever tell them basic things they need to know to service cars and trucks correctly? I'm going back to see them today,and discuss this situation with them. Sorry for the long post,but I wanted You all to know. Ed PS Running out of oil is not A good THing!!
