Everything bovine just doesn't trust me. Cows, even charging moose, now buffalo. Maybe it's the lip smacking.
I just looked at the juicy buffalo in the middle, thought how he could fit in the van and the whole herd bolted from the tree. They been watching me ever since.

Got my crop of summer autos out and transplanted, already in drought.
The field above should be intensely green, different plants poking up than the drought tolerant wildflowers.
The plants below are looking good a couple hours later, all the leaves are perky and bright green.

Which means replacement of the pan. This is why I don't have great love for mechanics I don't know personally.
I ran a shop for over 20 years after a 24 year stint as an E9 heavy diesel mechanic but meh, what do I know?
BTW, if the threads in the pan are stripped, what's your recommendation for a fix?

Nor impact drivers.
Used properly they can and will be one of the best tools in the arsenal of a professional mechanic that knows his shit.
I'm assuming you've met the opposite.

I had it changed at a shop and they did not replace the gasket...In fact it looks like there is no gasket at all! It's going to be the next person's problem! The vacuum pump worked splendidly....
I bought one of those extractors for my boat it works fine but the oil filter is still going to make a mess in the bilge for me.
I was going to say torch .... hot and cold....cycle after cycle...... but it’s probably cross threaded . Might as well drill it and tap or heli coil it . Either way just let us know we talk you into burning the car .... house or yourself.
