I finally got over my fear of climbing underneath my car and am now most of the way through my first DIY oil change.
Upon inspection it appears that whoever worked on my car last over tightened the plastic Oil Filter Housing and shredded the socket bit under the dust cover. I'm also pretty sure this is where most of my oil has been leaking out.
Some probably dumb questions:
(I have tried searching)
1. What would be the best way to go about removing the damaged housing?
2. Where would be the best place to get a replacement part? (I've mostly sourced parts through Supercheap up until now)
A huge thankyou to anyone who could point me in the right direction here! 😁😁😁
