I decided to be a grown-up ™️ and do some maintenance on Charlie, my car. Fuel filter, oil filter, oil, basic bitch stuff.
The fuel filter has been replaced with an exact copy which is 3mm wider than the original. Meaning the bracket won't close because I have the strength of a stoned sloth.
The sump plug won't come out despite torquing it to exact specs last time.
Charlie needed this stuff but I think she needed a pro.
I don't have pro money.

The face of a man who didn't yet know what the 60,000 mile maintenance costs would be. It's better than repair costs, though... 🚗 😑🙄🤷♂️🙂

The 17 year old me couldn't resist a pic in front of the "Lube" sign. Which reminds me, I think we might be low on lube. #LubeJob #CarMaintenance #JuvenileHumor #NSFW

How To Remove A Yaris Front End.
Do your own research.
Remove all the normal, standard, obvious, sensible screws, bolts, and clips.
Grasp flexible body panel.
Tentative tug.
Firm pull.
Authoritative yank.
Credit card in the gap.
Determined heave.
Thinking pause…
Shine torch in crevice.
Rewatch YouTube videos where people worldwide just … lift … the panel off.
Stern words to recalcitrant car.
Determined heave (at slightly different angle)
Find largest crowbar/pry bar/screwdriver.
Show prying tool to car, to let it know you are Serious!
Grasp panel firmly.
Adopt mindset of uncaring mechanic who doesn't own this car.
Deep breath.
Chicken out.
Walk away.
Think to self "I've had these car accessories follow me from house to house to house, unfitted, for nearly 30 years. Maybe I should wait another decade before I fit them"
Rewatch YouTube videos.
Screw courage to the sticking place.
Storm downstairs unstoppably.
Grasp panel firmly.
Think "What would John Mastodon do?"
Remove panel.
Optional: silently curse the engineers who design clips which need "Nope, if I pull any harder that's gonna break something + 5 Nm" of force to remove.
Felt like an idiot this morning when the car place called to tell me that I had put an engine air filter in to replace my cabin air filter. They just said I was sold the wrong part, but no, I looked that part up in the big book at autozone all by myself. So much for feeling like a self-sufficient adult. Trying hard to remind myself that I am capable in other areas of my life

I was changing my oil and a small bug flew into the funnel and rode the flow down into my engine. Should I be concerned?

Did you know that you can do a lot of things that keep your car running longer without giving other people money? #carmaintenance
@Galletasalada that tire tread can be run left or right, front or backwards. Totally okay to reverse them and switch them as is needed. #carmaintenance
Here's a mundane post. *not a toot, I only toot in my shorts/pants*
#carmaintenance Do NOT let your neighbor or friend rotate your tires if they do not make sure if you are front wheel drive, AWD or rear wheel drive or make mention of whether you have directional tread (!) on your tires!
Boy, they don’t want people working on their own cars theses days. Had to change a headlight with the only access through the wheel well and couldn’t see a thing. But got it done in the end. Always need to make it more difficult than it should be. #carmaintenance #diy
Adult lesson of the day: Tires. Getting two tires for my wife's car after we got the alignment fixed. This way we don't go through tires every 3 months. #LifeOfAnAdult #CarMaintenance
