    I like it, and totally agree, but I think you're asking for trouble.

    I also agree you might be asking for trouble but if you keep it, might as well add: and don’t strip the skid plate bolts

    I agree. Instead of insulting the potential technician who works on the truck I would have written "Every time you over tighten a bolt, God kills a kitten. Please don't be a kitten killer."

    Can you gift the oil change to someone with whom you hold no respect?
    A world of spite…

    Now that I think more about it, it would be a good reminder to yourself when you start doing your own oil changes.

    Some owners that work on their own need this. Also a QR code for the Motivx filter housing removal tool.

    Hmmm. When I bought my 4runner I got free oil changes+tire rotations. I used 0 of them.

    I'm unimpressed. Your comment is neither witty nor funny. I expect better Crazy Drunk.

    If I was a tech and saw such an insult (mouth breather?), I'd get a 3/4 breaker bar and three feet of pipe and REALLY crank that filter down.
    It'd take "heat wrench" to get it off. And I'd laugh the whole time I was doing it...

    So the oil filter will be put on as requested, but the drain plug, that’s another story (said the technician as he cranks up the impact tool to 140 psi…)

    I'd tape $10 to the pan and remove the "mouth breather" part. Now you're just a nice guy who's giving a tech a tip to encourage good service.

    You catch more flies with honey, and all that.

    yeah, I'm a nice guy and consider myself pretty mature but if I am a tech and read that, the situation will not end well.
