All great advice... and definitely amazing what you sometimes find when wrenching after having work done.

Just did O&F on my 1/2T yesterday afternoon... few months ago I received a "free" change from dealer as part of a recall. Holy you know what w how tight filter was on. Plus had serious dents - dang near punctured from where they squeezed the filter pliers getting ahem "snug". However, that paled in comparison to drain plug... for a split-second got concerned I was gonna have to grab my breaker bar!.

Something to keep in mind when you're handing over your keys to a non-specialized servicer or for a generic "service"... shops routinely are not known to put their best technician in the oil pit... (likewise a tire mounting machine).

Good luck
