What makes this post great is "Keeping it Real" while showing just how this process works in real life. Bolt torqued too tight and showing just what it really takes to this job. Great Post.
Great job explaining why you're doing what you're doing, and showing how to do it with at-home tools. I've seen videos with professional jacks, or working in a shop, or tire ramps. Best Smart oil change video I've found
Went to Autozone to get oil and an oil filter. The STP oil filter model S6607 was listed in the reference book for my 2008 Smart Fortwo Passion. They had two styles with the exact same model number but one box was 1/4 inch taller! I asked the folks which one I should use and why one was taller. They had No Clue so we opened up both to compare them. The only difference was that one filter was 1/4 inch taller. The taller filter was the one I choose because it better matched the picture on the computer when they pulled up the specs for my car. That was however very odd I thought.
@@fupabox What's really funny was the filter I took off the car was super tiny even compared to the shorter filter the store had. I'm guessing it was at least a half an inch shorter. I guess with the taller filters the more surface area for filtering couldn't hurt. On my car I think the muffler sits lower than the filter so if I bottom out, it's going first. Just don't go mudding with the car, you'll be fine. If you do use a lift kit, put on some huge tires and take video cus I'd like to see that LOL.
