Message Decided to change the oil to Rotella T6 5w-40 (per a thread from a couple weeks ago) as my lifters have been a bit noisy in the cold weather with Mobil 1 15w-50.

Started the car and noticed I had no oil pressure after ~10 seconds. Didn't have the oil filter threaded on straight so oil was shooting out from under the car. Seemed like nearly all the fresh oil managed to leak over the garage. Just finished cleaning that mess up...as far as I can tell there was no damage to the Z at least.

Feel free to laugh at my stupidity and try not to have a brain fart like me next time you change your oil.

On a positive note the engine does sound smoother.

'91 TT
