Re: Best way to spruce up a used car? Fresh oil change (and flush)!
That thread is from 2007. The guy later claims it was a joke.

Re: Best way to spruce up a used car? Fresh oil change (and flush)!
Lol, what an idiot.

Re: Best way to spruce up a used car? Fresh oil change (and flush)!
I've seen that one as well elsewhere. But one true story, I had a 1998 GSX come in when I was fixing them in my garage around 2000 or so. They wanted me to change the oil and fix a few things. I drained the oil and about 12 quarts came out. I asked the owner's boyfriend why there was so much oil in there and he said they thought they had to add a quart every week, so he did and didn't bother to drain any. Oops. The car only had like 40k miles too, luckily it didn't do any damage.

You'll just forget to put the drain bolt back in.

Meh, even if you know it, you're bound to forget at some point. I'm pretty sure those of us who've done our own oil for years have all done it once.

Re: Best way to spruce up a used car? Fresh oil change (and flush)!
Speak for yourself. Ive never done that.... How do you even manage that?
|
Re: Best way to spruce up a used car? Fresh oil change (and flush)!
Uhh yea I cant say ive done that before..
|
Re: Best way to spruce up a used car? Fresh oil change (and flush)!
Was years ago on my truck. I was too busy fighting with the oil filter and trying to find a filter wrench small enough for it.
I still had the pan under it, so I didn't make a mess. Still sucked, though. |
Re: Best way to spruce up a used car? Fresh oil change (and flush)!
yeah... generally, my pan bolt goes in before i tackle the filter. Or, in the rare case I do both at the same time, the pan bolt goes in when the filter goes on. Gotta plug all them holes.
|
Re: Best way to spruce up a used car? Fresh oil change (and flush)!
That's the way it's been done ever since.
|
Re: Best way to spruce up a used car? Fresh oil change (and flush)!
Are we really debating on what the proper oil change sequence is? God Spring really needs to get here.

Re: Best way to spruce up a used car? Fresh oil change (and flush)!
^^ I agree. I personally have never left the pan plug out either. I did forget to put the cap back on the valve cover once, but I noticed it about a minute after I started it and was checking for leaks.

Re: Best way to spruce up a used car? Fresh oil change (and flush)!
The only stupid thing I did concerning oil changes was telling my friend how easy it was, and that he could do it himself. He had an old buick, and not only was the oil filter in the worst possible position, but he decided to do it on the street in front of our appartment....the oil filter was stuck, ended up jamming a screwdriver through it and tearing the thing to pieces trying to get it off....Gooooood 'ol fram quality :)
|
Re: Best way to spruce up a used car? Fresh oil change (and flush)!
I left the cap off once, lost a quart, never again. And I agree spring needs to come.
|
Re: Best way to spruce up a used car? Fresh oil change (and flush)!
Oh, I did leave the cap off of my 2G once. I drove from my house into downtown. When I got off on 4th street, I saw a wisp of smoke. I continued on to my office, and popped the hood. There was my oil cap, upside down, sitting on my exhaust manifold (no heat shield). I couldn't believe it hadn't melted! I picked it up with a rag, let it cool down, and put it back on.
|
Re: Best way to spruce up a used car? Fresh oil change (and flush)!
ive never forgotten the bolt or filter or anything, but once in the old gf's car i forgot to put the cap back on. After driving about 2 hours we finally realized, it was only about a quart low haha.

Re: Best way to spruce up a used car? Fresh oil change (and flush)!
In my high school auto class, kids would do the ol' double gasket on the filter. I was teaching the super noobs how to do oil changes and had to check everytime for double gasketing. 3 or 4 times I caught it before they filled it. On the subject of engine flushing, I like to use the scubbing bubbles. They scrub the crankcase, so you dont have to.
