my suggestion is if you have the reciept, take it back there and raise some living hell. cuz there is no excuse the for the "pros" to have damaged your car and not informed you, and it seems the filter wasn't changed (if it's brown like you say). if the mechanic or whoever gives you crap, go right to the supervisor. good luck, hope it all gets worked out.

i am going down their at noon so i hope they are having a good morning because when i get their i am going off because the inside of the filter is brown and gritty ya know and if that messes up my car then they will need a lawyer. thanks for the quick reply i just want to know how they might get it off so i know what to look for when they fix it because this time i marked the filter with a black marker and i am going to tell them i want to see the old filter when they are done but i am just curious on how they will have to take it off ya know thanks again

Thats your problem.
Around here Jiffy lube likes to top off brake fluid with motor oil. When motor oil is mixed with brake fluid, it causes it to eat away at rubber...whoops.

Mines a solid metal can... the only clear ones ive seen are in the engine bay.
If youve got a plastic one on the outside of your car... I hope you dont hit a rock.

no it is solid metal but if you take the end off that dosn't have the quick release and flash a light into it you can see inside it. i took it to the garage and they said that i would have to replace the whole fuel pump (530 dollars) because they don't just sell the hose ain't that a b*^%#. i have a double misfire i changed the wires and checked the spark plugs, anyone have any ideas as to why it is misfireing and the coil packs are brand new.

you can buy quick connect repair connectors from NAPA.
you cut off the old connector and trim the new connector to the correct lenth.
Then boil some water, soak the new connector line in it for about 4mins slide in the supplied barb, the do the same to the line on the car.
