So I need to do an oil change, this is my off season for driving we have extreme heat now here in S. Arizona. Is the filter and strainer completely separate? I assume you change the filter and check the strainer? Any you tube videos on this?

For light torque and fine tolerances, I like a digital torque wrench. I trust the numbers more than the click. But after a while, you definitely develop an innate feel regardless. As for hot vs. cold...I prefer warm. And letting it drain for a few hours. Or cold and let it drip overnight. Bottom line is that gravity and time will do the job no matter the temp:) I agree it’s not rocket science. But you’d be surprised how many people have asked me to make an oil change video. It kinda makes sense, as most people don’t start working on cars by tearing into an engine. Oil change is a “gateway drug” lol. Here’s a link to the digital wrench I’m using.
