No Mess Oil Change

46+ years in the business. When the manufacturers built simple cars, no problems with any of them. My first stupid oil filter was on a 82 GM X body with a 2.5 R engine. Unscrew the filter and it drains right into the engine cradle. Dumb! In the last 28 years, I have been a MAC Tool dealer and get into a hundred automotive shops. Later model Fords are the worst. The Ford dealer techs complain the loudest! It wasn't too long ago the pick ups had 2 drain plugs. Duh! And all the shields and diapers Ford uses nowdays. The only thing that's worse is GM's upside down Ecotech filter a half inch from the exhaust manifold!
Oh I talk about engineer in general, and that is pre 1970's. For all big 3 vehicle post 1970's, that I touch, all junk in my opinion. The technology isn't much different from before, plus cheap parts and poor design. I feel gen X engineers are book's engineers not a hand-on engineers, they will never have ability of baby boomers. Don't like.
