How a REAL man changes his oil!

mantella87 · 01-17-2012, 07:08 PM

Hahah! It was in his garage thankfully. He really doesn't care that there is a pond of oil in his garage. I told him to at least get some kitty litter to soak it up, but he didn't want to deal with it. No shame.

Hahah, It was hard to watch man... because I was laughing so hard!

I wonder what he's gonna do about the oil stain?

Pharmacist · 01-17-2012, 09:30 PM

wait, i don't understand it. You mean he never actually drained the old oil? but there are ramps in the pic. what's their purpose if he didn't lift the car up? how can he forget to drain the old oil out?

He did. What happened was he forgot to take the plug out of the plastic drain pan he had underneath it. When he pulled the drain plug it overflowed within seconds and spilled all over the garage. It was a successful oil change, albeit half-assed. His methods should never be taught.

Oh I see. Why would he get those crappy pans anyway? Used to have one of them, but the collection funnel was too narrow and tended to splash. Got one of these instead and never regretted it:

my drain pan is super low tech. i use a triangular one for the main oil (easy to use with a funnel to place old oil back into jug) and a circular one for the filter (larger surface area to catch any wild drips).

Also, he invites all of you to his garage to get a "real man's oil change", on the house!
