The DB1 was in the shop for 2 weeks... Getting abunch of stuff fixed.... 1 thing on the list was the simplest.

A oil change... Easy right?, Last time i did it myself.

I get the car back Wednesday and park it in my usual spot... Come out next morning and there's liquid dripping out of it... I check and its oil, So i check the oil (dipstick) and its alittle to much oil... No biggie... So i drive it about 3 more times and each time parking in different directions in the same spot in my driveway, And each time it keeps leaking (my fault!)... So i checked the oil last night and it was low... WTF.



So i jack it up to see where its leaking from, The drain bolt... So i start tightning it... Oh what do you know... Its stripped :x :evil:

My dad wanted to call them right then and there to have them pick it up (tow truck) but i need the car for a car club meeting Saturday :( So i just have to keep like 5 quarts of oil in my trunk and keep close tabs on it until monday :(

never use air tool when changing oil/filter.. and remember use new crush washer for the bolt everytime you take it out.

It was a asian.

The guy that did told me "OH FINALLY YOU GUYS BROUGHT A HONDA!!!" (He worked on all of our other cars [Ford (x2), Dodge, Pontiac]).... Then he explained how he has worked on Hondas for 9 years and knows them inside and out... Guess not.

Dumbass what kinda filters do you guys use? I get the fram just because of the sure grip thing, they are usually a bitch to take off if its not the fram.
