So today I go to change the oil in my sons 2007 Pontiac Vibe. I picked up this car a year back, it had previously been maintained at a local indepentent garage. I get my tools and a carpet I use to lay on. First the oil filter. Very, very tight. I try a couple times, then try my filter socket wrench (doesn't fit well). Then I put on a set of rubber gloves and with a lot of arm strength, finally break it free. Great....right?
Then I move on to the oil pan bolt. It's beyond tight. I mean I could not break it free with my 14 mm box wrench. Go find my 36" pipe to put over the wrench. Even with the pipe it was scary tight. I had to pull quite hard....enough I was concerned something would break. It did come loose but jeez was that scary.
