Wow that sucks to mistake displacement for amount of oil... don't drink and oil change! Or drink the oil change! Or....

 

Ok guys I'll stop playing now... I'm suprised at how civil many of you are LOL I was expecting a lot worse LOL of anyone did mistake displacement for oil capacity that would be pretty funny. Aside from the fact I ran about 13 000kms before my first change and my oil was black as hell I didn't see any other issues. Like I said though did have an issue with the factory cranking on the filter at 200ft/lbs. What happened to hand tight with a quarter turn. LOL

 

^ I thought you were joking. I remeber my self asking why or how you could do this with a RWD EVO and 09 GTS under your belt LOL.

Glad it was ok.

 

This is why we don't use the same units for oil cap and displacement.

Don't find any 2.1 quart turbo inline 4's here!

 

This whole thread was a joke ..... ?

 

You're not the only one. I actually left my filter on the first oil change I did because I didn't have the tools I needed to remove it at the time. Recently, when I changed my friend's oil (also owns a Mitsu), the dealership not only put the WRONG oil filter on, they also torqued it on so hard that I had to drill a hole in the filter and crank it off with a screwdriver.

 

yea man in my first post i mentioned I had to ram a screw driver through the side of mine and also use vice grips to turn it off... I was thinking you have got to be kidding me lol...

 

LOL I just did the exact same thing last night (left the filter on because of lack of tools)....I had a filter wrench which didn't cut it (the band type)...we even lined it with gorilla tape to give it more "bite".

Gonna try to pick up one of the end-cap type ones or the three-pronged "claw" type for the next change.

 

I was thinking of just saying f it and leaving it on as well but the filter contains quite a bit of oil and I dodn't want the bad oil contaminating my nice clean fresh oil.

just get a big vice grip, tighten it on so it crushes the filter in a bit so it doesn't slip and you'll be ok.

I have a few diffrent oil filter wrenches but all would just slip, even when I wedged sand paper under the belt.

vice grips ftw!

 

LOL I was wondering where that blue lancer went man theirs tons of lancers in barrie but only my old one here

 

was just gonna say....dudes building a 4g63 lancer and doesnt understand how much oil is needed in the car LOL YEA RIGHT
but if that was to happen thenn its pretty epic fail

13000KM w/o oil change ehh lol most i ran was 10000 n it was likeee BLACKK

 

Yea man lots of new ones, hardly any older ones... you need to bring up some TLC stickers and pass them out.. I try to write on paper or napkins but most of the time its a fail..


yea 13 000 is a stretch... I wont do it again, but I wasn't to concerned when my service light only came on at the 12 000 mark... lol.. I thought for all those who dont know what an oil change is, they'd drive is anyway until the service light came on to take it in...

btw.. anyone know how to get rid of that stupid light... I'll be taking the car to maple for a new end links under warrenty since my front end is clunking in a few weeks when I have some time off but until then that ding bothers me.

 

holy. i read this and i was actually gonna rip you a new one haha. thank god you were joking.

though, im not too surprised there are people out there that have made that mistake

 

I know how to take the oil thingy off but I just need your manual to remeber how u have class tomrow turbo? I have 730-3 ish. wait tomrow is the chimea shoot dammit >>

 

huh?.. lol.. oil filter is long gone.. as i said, vice grips and screwdriver through the side ftw...
what is chimea shoot? I have all morning classes, you probably wont see me around as I suspect you have evening classes?... that day I was grabbing my g/f so its a possibility we might bump into each other again though.
