IMO April fools.

Just did a search on the brake fluid in the engine guy.

Couldn't go through all the pages, but man that was funny.

Thumbs up

Drive your Z backwards, retracing all the steps you took prior to your oil change. Drain the new oil and remove the new oil filter; pour your old used oil back in; replace your used oil filter. Everything should return to normal!

fill up the engine with brake cleaner fluid. that would clean out all the oil you put. now flush it out and put power steering fluid in it. that will help seal the rings. now flush that out and fill up the engine with that sealant fluid for head gaskets, to prevent head gasket failure. after that, drain everything out, and fill up with oil and change the filter. now, because you wore out the bores of the cylinders you will need slightly thicker than usual oil, so use 75w90 gear oil instead of the ester oil. do this and you'll be just fine, with no problems for the rest of the car's life.

Wow that was a lame april fools joke, you didn't keep it going long enough and it was a direct copy of that thread we have all read recently

If you stuck to your story and made it more unique to the z, just kept it going past april fools, build it up to at least 10 pages then BAM you catch Frost with his pants down in the cookie jar no less
