When I got home from work (40 minute highway drive) I decided to drain the oil while it was hot. After most the oil came out, I went to remove the filter and it was on there good. I had to use an oil filter wrench and a small make shift breaker bar (because of space) to break it loose. It took at least 10 minutes and I definitely was bumping into the frame and whatever else in the process. There is a decent amount of rust under the car… maybe I will get lucky and that’s what is in there.
I sprayed these pieces from the oil drain pan off with brake cleaner. It is definitely metal. Im guessing it’s aluminum because it is pretty brittle, but I’m just guessing. The car is going to the shop tomorrow or Tuesday. I’ll give them the old oil and filter.
Is that something they can do without dropping the engine? What kind of price tag am I looking at? The car is only worth 5 grand. I may just sell it and disclose the problems.
Thanks for the input everyone but it should not be a tire issue because the tires were balanced and rotated at the dealer and the vibration remained at the rear right tire.
I had p0420 code for well over a year. I tried catalytic converter cleaners and they would turn the light off, but it would come back within 100 miles. Then I watched a scotty kilmer video where he says to remove the cat and soak it overnight in laundry detergent. I did this 3000 miles ago and the light has not come back on yet. They can be a pain to get off, but it could be a cheap solution. Just my 2 cents.
