http://www.challengerforumz.com/showpost.php?p=473292&postcount=34I usually check mine with each oil change....I use amsoil, so I stick to changing it every 6K per the owner's manual even though it's designed to go 10K. Don't want to run afoul of the recommendation and run into warranty issues. Speaking of which I went to check mine yesterday after putting my strut brace in and I must have tightened it down so much that I can't spin the sucker off. Gonna have to find someone with a vice and wrap it in a bath towel to protect the finish. Luckily it's octagonal shaped so I should be able to get a fair bite on it without marring it up.
Apparently!but Jim is a 700 pound gorilla!!!!!
I blame heat. When it's cold, you twist it open, twist it closed, then open it again to check how tight it is, simple. Twist it back on, drive around a bit, heat from the engine blah blah blah... try to take it back off... thing is solid as a rock. Heat, expansion, frustration! That's my guess anyway. :4-dontknow:lol...amazing how you have the strength to put them on but never enough to get them off. Darn science!!!
Last time I had it open, it was warm out. Tried to check it yesterday with the engine ice cold (well ambient temp was about 50 or high 40s). I think I just put it on too tight.I blame heat.
