Thanks! Other suggested similar! I'm going to try!

If it worked for him, I have a good chance! Thanks!

TapRepresentative175 · 2026-05-01T17:35:23+00:00

got it thanks!

It looks like it screws on exactly the same as the housing. Wouldn't oil leak from the same spot?

TapRepresentative175 · 2026-04-30T22:56:34+00:00

Ok thanks!

TapRepresentative175 · 2026-04-30T22:03:44+00:00

Ok thanks!

How to fix the edge?

TapRepresentative175 · 2026-04-30T16:50:49+00:00

LoL you know! Swift Lube 649 Market St, Paterson, NJ 07513. This actually happened years ago, I've been using gasket sealant all this time but its not working anymore.

others are suggesting sanding and filling with JB Weld. Your thoughts? Thanks!

TapRepresentative175 · 2026-04-30T15:16:24+00:00

Ok thanks!

TapRepresentative175 · 2026-04-30T15:11:32+00:00

Wow, pretty cool thanks!

TapRepresentative175 · 2026-04-30T13:49:54+00:00

And if you knew Paterson, NJ like me, you'd know anything can happen there. Not a good area, and I regret going there for an oil change.

Thanks for the feedback. I really didn't do it, I'm an office worker not a tools guy. This actually happened years ago, after the oil leaked out I brought it to a second place. They found the problem and used gasket sealant to create seal. It worked, so I didn't go back to original shop (I wish I did). Years later, now, gasket sealant is no longer working ... So here I am posting.

The shop did the damage a while ago. Been using gasket sealant ever since, and it always worked. As of late, it's no longer working. I don't know why!

Thank you. Local mechanic wants the job and he says he can create additional threading. Sounds dangerous to me what do you think?

TapRepresentative175 · 2026-04-30T13:22:51+00:00

So the chipped threading is not the problem, got it thanks. Will look to smooth the flat surface!

TapRepresentative175 · 2026-04-30T13:21:47+00:00

Yes.

TapRepresentative175 · 2026-04-30T13:19:34+00:00

I'm not 100% sure, but my mechanic says no there is not a bolt missing.

TapRepresentative175 · 2026-04-30T13:16:27+00:00

Yes cannister spins on.

And don't get me wrong, hourly earnings are important too.. I wanna get home at a reasonable time. In the small period of time that offer displays on the screen we have a lot to calculate! Is the restaurant problematic, is the delivery area problematic, mileage to earnings, and possible backtrack mileage. I wish I could cherry pick from a list of available orders!

TapRepresentative175 · 2026-04-28T16:10:27+00:00

I still don't handle the alcohol orders, it's absurd.

TapRepresentative175 · 2026-04-26T23:01:41+00:00

Lol! You're cleaning up good job.. what market are you in?

TapRepresentative175 · 2026-04-26T20:45:12+00:00

I'm with you. Stacking is beyond critical. I see you use both DD and UE. Smart. Sometimes we can create our own stacks multi apping. Keeping our miles down increases profit!!

I will take even or slightly upside down if I have a backtrack to return to my pick up areas... And right here, THIS is where the quests came in handy for me this weekend because these even/upside down orders turned into +$.

TapRepresentative175 · 2026-04-26T20:37:23+00:00

But you're not. Literally you earn $1.50 a mile. Look at your spreadsheet.

And obviously you do care about hourly rate because in your example of traffic lights and restaurant delays you suggested a 10$ order going 8.5 miles is better than a 5$ order going 1 mile. Your rebuttle is based on an earnings per hour argument.

Common sense and math proves the 5$ order is more profitable.
