I'm more shocked by the fact they UNDER tightened the filter than anything. Usually those imbeciles put every g-damn thing back on with air tools - drain plugs, filters, lug nuts, you name it. I think it's a prerequisite to work there that you can't have any idea what "torque spec" means. A friend's car had wheel lugs l tightened to the point of plastic deformation / yield after a tire replacement - no joke. These guys are scary. Just grab the air thingy there, twist the knob all the way and brrrrrrrt! I've had to physically destroy several filters on peoples' cars to get them off after they went to a jiffy lube or similar place. I swear they do it to amuse themselves just like restaurant servers always waiting until just after you've taken a bite to rush over and ask how everything is (I know for a fact this is done on purpose - I worked in enough restaurants when I was younger. It's a way to make a crap job somewhat less crappy by amusing yourself)

I'd whiz in the crankcase before I'd let one of those goons within arm's reach of any of my cars.
