Woman Tries Changing Her Own Oil, Quickly Discovers It Wasn't That Easy: "Can't Even Pass Level 1"

A woman trying to change the oil in her car ran into trouble before she could drain any of it. She tried loosening a bolt underneath the car with a ratchet and then a power tool, but neither attempt seemed to work. The woman, who goes by CarsNmore (@carsnmore02), posted a 16-second video on TikTok on August 6. She wrote, "I will persevere until I get it 🤣any tips." Her video starts with the words "How hard can an oil change be?" on the screen. A few seconds later, the text changes to "Couldn't even pass Level One."

Normal torque range for oil drain plug bolt is around 15 FT LBS to 30 FT LBS so it should not be that difficult to remove....

Someone fukked up by over tightening it or that bolt has seized/frozen due to neglect... ???

Automotive oil pans are generally thin so it can get damaged too...
