My car, those shops might get to do the oil change one out of twenty that it gets. I do the rest. When they do get it, they're told not to touch anything other than what's necessary to change the oil. And they sure ain't gettin' their hands on my Cummins.
That said, there seems to be somethin' goin' on with filters lately. I haven't changed a thing about the way I change filters in 35+ years of doin' it, and have always a habit of checking the top of the old filter to make sure the gasket came away with it. Until last summer, it had probably been ten years since I'd had a gasket stick. And, whaddaya know, for the first time in the ten years I hadn't looked, and the new filter felt funny goin' on. I spun it back down and, sho 'nuff, there was the old gasket up on the base.
Since then, I've had that gasket stay on the motor two times out of five, once on the car, once on the Cummins. I've been changin' filters (Mopars on the Stratus, FleetGuard Stratopores on the Cummins) on these two vehicles alone for the last 5+ years and honestagawd, I ain't doin a thing any different. Cleaned up the base like I always do after they stuck but still . . . there's something' goin' on.
