Oil Filter Magnet

[thri-p]

hmm i've got 2 broken HDD here but how the hell do i get teh HDD screws OUT?

it looks like some kind of allen key.. but it has more grooves.

where do i get this screwdriver or is it called the hallen key? or special edition allen key??? hehe and how much does it cost?

The screws are called TORX screws. U can buy the torx screwdrivers form hardware shop, machinery shop or your local handphone shop. If u go low yatt sure can get one.

if it's so strong stuck on the oil filter,
will it be difficult to detach it from the oil filter
on the next oil change ?

 

[Carrera]

It's ok..no problem. u still can take out from ur oil filter when next change. Not that strong till u can't pull out.

hi,
FYI, during last changed my Corolla A/T oil filter 3 yrs ago, i found 3 small magnets sticking at the metal filter. I do not know it is original from factory or placed by previous owner. These magnets managed to traps lots of tiny chips around its body.

Btw, how about getting a 12" subwoofer magnet and stick it under the oil pan :lol: ? but if doing this way hav to think of how to remove the tiny chips from the oil pan at every oil change...
