Drained my oil and went to take the old filter off. Hmm my filter wrench (kind that goes on my socket) doesn't fit it. Start looking around for my regular adjustable filter wrench and can't find it. This is what happens to me when that one time I'm in a rush I take it to a quick lube place instead of doing it myself.
It's 9pm and I have to work tomorrow morning. So I replaced the drain plug and filled the car up with new oil. The current filter has 5k miles on it (yes I know I was way overdue changing the oil). So should I go buy a adjustable filter wrench tomorrow and change the filter (and oil again) or just leave it for another 3750 miles (so 8750 miles total on the filter) until I change it again?
Any thoughts are appreciated.
