    Joe-I was flummoxed when I snapped this fitting trying to get to the oil filter. You saved the day! Real nice video. You saved me a tow to the mechanics shop and hundreds of dollars.
    Well done!!!

    Thanks! Fix worked great! Pex ring clamp cutters work awesome to break the plastic collars. You saved the day. 👍

    This is the most difficult car I've ever had to change the oil on! Pretty insane for what should be pretty simple. Mine just started leaking after doing one, and I am pretty sure this is why! Thank you

    I broke this brittle T while replacing thermostat assembly and felt bad, then saw your video and, cool!, you lighted me up, have ordered the 1x1x3/4 connector online and waiting for delivery. How long has your new brass T worked? all good no issue?

    How have your oil changes been since? I’m doing the same repair and thinking of adding a couple to extend hoses away from the filter housing.
