Yeah so this is a weird one... I was replacing the oil filter on my truck this morning, as i went to use my oil filter wrench to break it loose (which is metal) the wrench also touched some sort of metal line next to it and sparks flew everywhere. The line had some shielding on it which was out of place but i moved it back before proceeding. This happened twice and was concerning as hell considering once the filter breaks loose there is a bunch of flammable motor oil with the potential of sparks in close prox with eachother in my engine compartment. Never ever had this happen when changing oil on any car or truck. Any ideas what I was splicing the oil filter together with to produce the sparks?
