Sorry to read this but not surprised.First oil change on the Suburban and I’ll tell ya... What a freaking shitshow. I’d love to meet the grease pit gorilla who changed the oil last time.
Drain plug hardly moved even with a 12” breaker bar and even then it was tpuch and go, since the socket was twisting off the head.
Finally got it off and it looks like it’s had a hard life in the last five years, so had to drive to AutoZone to get a new one.
Next in line was the filter and the dame damn thing continued. Mangled my trusty old filter wrench to shit and it didn’t move a bit. Had to use my 12” channellocks get it out. Luckily there was just enough room to fit them there.
What a PITA, but at least it’s done. Should be helluva lot easier next time around.
Emptied catch can for the first time, too, and not too much stuff in it. Maybe 1/4 cup.

The celebratory "**** you, I got'r done" beer.
Hell yeah! There I was thinking about a quick 30-40 minute job which in the end took me almost two hours with a trip to AZ and working meticulously trying not to break things that were put on with an impact gun or something. Definitely called for a beer or two or three.
