The reason why I dont do change oil on my own.
 

*Disclaimer: This is just for fun, do not follow the instruction :D but when you do follow the Woman's way, just becareful, there might be a giant can of beer that's going to fall from sky.

This is why I don't change the oil in our cars on my own anymore...but it doesnt mean I'm a woman...ahahahahahaha!

Now to find that hidden camera in the garage....
:cheers:

31) Dump in five fresh quarts of oil.

Not correct. Boxsters require 9&1/2 to 10 quarts of oil!!!! Then again, I guess it depends on how often you change your oil? Do you do it every 3,000 miles? That's not what the manual says.
You better ad some more oil. Do you have an owner's manual? Says it in there, once every 15,000 or once a year, whichever comes first. That's why you need 9-10 quarts. Hope you used Mobil 1 Full Snythetic. :rolleyes:

UM, Did you realize it was a joke?

Did some editing in case someone actually follow it with out reading the disclaimer...and yap, it' supposed to be a joke :D

good to hear from you, OHIO! :cheers:

No. I can never tell with some of these guys posts. People do some stupid things to their cars. :o

and that is why there's a disclaimer on beginning of the thread, my friend :cheers:

thats too funny man, i can sooo see that happening, but then again i dont drink beer, lol

and 986Spyder, man u need to hang out here some more to know if its a joke or not without even reading a disclaimer :cheers:

Ha!

I sure wish I could just drive the boxster over to JiffyLube and have them do the whole shooting match... using the right filter, the crush washer, the right oil, etc.!

:o didn't even notice the name of the shop!

change from Jiffy to Porsche Indy shop :D to make it sound more realistic :dance:

Yor right, I didn't even read that part. I just jumped down to the steps. LOL! :D

Well since you are getting all "technical" on the steps to the joke, you should add one more.

xx.) Replace front bumper due to incorrect towing technique.

:D

thats a good one! OR replace bent rear control arm from incorrect towing technique

I would but it might get too technical and someone might actually follow it..hahahaha! :D :D :D

ROFL! Nice, UK.

but DO you really change ur own oil, or do u take the car to the shop and hae them do it for you?

Uh ahhemm . . . . :o

We are all waiting for your DIY guide with photos first, maybe change your oil same time you do the headers :)

I have not changed my oil yet, but got some of the items mentioned above.
like items: 3, 13, 21, 28, 30, 32 and 35

:cheers:

nope..I've never change my own oil yet on the Box or on the Benz'. I figure by the time I purchase all the parts needed and my time tinkering around the garage, it's worth paying the extra $60 to $80 to the Indy shop that's been recommended :D
now with my 83 Bronco II...it's a DIY, sometimes and it depends if I have a coupon..hehehehehehe!

my DIY has no beer involved :)

but if you guys want to, i can sure as hell find a step where it would be appropreate if i was a beer drinker...hehehe

same here...been alcohol free for the past 10 years!

nice man.
ill take an occasional mixed drink, but thats about all. beer never tasted appealing to me, so it never cought on. outta all my friends, im the only one not drinking beer :) , and i like it that way
