Those magnetic engine oil drain plugs are nearly useless. They don't to anything to prevent excess sludge/engine deposits that collect, and plug your oil pumps screen. Their really only good for transmissions, and differentials that develop some metallic fillings over time.

Manufactures would install them if they thought they were that beneficial.

this thing looks like a handy and safe way to jack up and safely secure at least one side of a vehicle, and might be compact enough to store it with you in the truck or even under the hood for emergency use, ive seen a version like this at Wally world 6000 pounds is more than enough to jack up the Taco

Just ordered a new Yukon rolling tool chest from harbor freight...says it will be in next week.

 

[JayQQ97]

What colour?

 

[tacojoel]

Decided blue after looking at the black, and red similar models. It'll replace this old pos I bought back in the 80's.

 

[JayQQ97]

Gonna need some cool pics of that new box upon its arrival!

 

[tacojoel]

Its just a tool chest on wheels...go online to harbor freight, and gaze at them if you like tools so much.

 

[JayQQ97]

Ok I will do that!

 

[JayQQ97]

Why do you need all that stuff to remove the oil filter....it should come off just by twisting it off by hand. Same for it being only hand tightened.

 

[JayQQ97]

apparently the gen2 4cylinder oil filter will SelfTighten beyond any strength i have to just twist it off
i screwed it on hand tight last time upside down at an angle and i could NOT turn it by hand this time so IDK

 

[tacojoel]

Come-on...there not like a maple syrup bottle cap. I've hand tightened oil filters for years on everything from trucks, cars, motorcycles, and tractors...never had an issue removing them by hand the next time needing replaced.

 

[JayQQ97]

gen2 4cylinder filter is just awkward at best
and i have an impaired bummed thumb time to time
