Oil Filter
Hey guys, I tried searching, but too many topics came up & need your help.
Over the weekend, I changed my oil from regular to synthetic. However, that isn't the problem. The problem is that I couldn't take out the oil filter. I didn't have that "oil filter wrench" or whatever you call it...i didn't buy one because when I changed my gf's oil, I unscrewed the filter with my hands, so I figured I could do the same. Not the case! haha...feakin' thing didn't want to come off.
Anyways, I'm sure there's some regular oil in the filter & I've already poured the synthetic oil in because I had to use the car really quick (maybe drove it half a mile or so) & I figured I'd change the filter during the next oil change. Would the mixture of the regular oil & synthetic oil do any harm?
Also, with the oil in the motor, is it possible to change the filter? Thanks for your help!
