Let's see who gets this...

And this is why car manufacturers try very hard to make sure people don't work on their own cars.

They try so hard because they want to make money, not because they're afraid of what people will do to their cars.

I don't buy it. If said liquid started draining from said drain, then you would have more of a milky color. Unless of course, the car had no oil in it to begin with.

It's not rocket science, car companies just don't like getting sued.

I get it! This guy modified his cooling system to use the lower part of his oil pan as a drain for his radiator. Then he freaks out the Jiffy Lube guys when he gets an oil change!

I have a good oil change story. This guy does his girlfriend a favor and does an oil and filter change. The problem is that the gasket from the old oil filter stuck to the block. He put the new filter over the old gasket (double gaskets) which of course leaked and she blew the engine. Moral of the story: Let the guys at the dealership or Jiffy Lube do your oil changes - especially when it comes to family!
