Baby's First Oil Change


Lessons learned:
  • Oil is messy!
  • If the drain plug angles towards the rear of the car, the stream of oil will shoot that direction, and may overshoot the catch pan.
  • The 1969 Toyota Corona R3 engine takes a cartridge-type oil filter, rather than a spin-on filter. That means it's a replaceable filter cartridge inside a removable housing. And it's a LOT harder to work with.
