Advice From Forum Members on Oil Change

[JayG]

To help prevent a Valdez oil spill, I put my oil drain pan in a low plastic container. I use a Sterilite one from wallyworld. If any oil misses the catch pan, it is caught in the container.

Oil changes are easy peezy. DIY is the what to go

Glad you alive and writing, real-life size drama in SD I've heard recently :/

True. but i'd still manage to strip the bolt (the hex part.... with my cheap local undersized hex bit). And certainly would be slammed by a dust right in-my-eye. That special type dust that takes a week to get rid of. What else.... knuckles skin ripped and of course, I will forget my custom cnc'ed flashlight somewhere on a link which eventually should kill the guy following behind.

What else called luck when car mechanics is involved ((4me anyway)). +1 on the independent, just let him chose his oil also lolll

Did something like that once with a 2' level, no one got hurt. We could probably have a whole thread about tools left in the car after working on it.
