Got home after 2700 miles. Decided to change the spark plugs.....10 minutes. Easy peasey.
Oil change not so easy. Little cockwankers used RTV on the drain plug. The filter was on so tight that I broke a Kragen/O'Reilly's Chinese made POS band wrench and took a 1/2 hour to get the MOFO off with a pair of Mongo channel locks.
Had to lift the whole front end up 14+ inches to get in there and get leverage. DBs at Walmart management still haven't called me back.
Never again. I'll take tools plus a jack and stands to do an oil change on a long trip. What a waste of money and time.
