Surprise Find During Initial Oil Change
I was under the car draining the oil this past weekend when I noticed something interesting. Can you see it?
 There is a bolt completely untightened just to the right of the oil filter. It pays to do a good visual inspection while working on your car! |

I think there was a TSB about that bolt being cross-threaded or something leading to a coolant leak.
