A story with a cautionary note to it

Don't feel bad, I did the same thing a few years ago. It took 45 years of changing my own oil before it happened, but it did. Just the right combination of being in a hurry, low light and the o-ring sticking to the block. I always apply a little oil to the o-ring before installing the filter, but this one decided to stick onto the block. You'll know something's not right in a hurry!
