Changing the oil; so easy a woman can do it

I wish you would have told me that before I spent last Sunday morning changing the oil in my Ram and my wife's Challenger! Next time I am drinking beer in my beach chair while the Mrs. Does the oil changes!

That's funny!! As soon as I saw her holding that pan, I knew it was coming. I just sat back and watched it unfold!! Thanks for sharing!

Good thing they let the car cool down before changing the oil...I change mine when the engine is still warm so the oil flows better and drains faster. Ouch...

That’s interesting. I’ve heard two schools of thought on that - yours and that you ideally change it when it’s been sitting a while so the oil is all drained down into the pan.

Great video!

I usually run it real good and let it set for awhile. Even warm flows better than cold. Like everything, ask, and you'll get different responses. I've done it both ways. We're both right!! LOL

Actually , you ARE both correct. You drove the car for awhile and let it sit ….. so the oil was hot AND the benefit of letting it drain down.

 

[Coelacanth]

Yes, I don't change the oil immediately after driving, either. But definitely while the engine is still warm.

Amsoil claims to GO to heat, so I drain stone cold in the morning. Stone being 60F ambient.
I’ve had 7 quarts on the driveway surface. The funnel was jammed between the oil pan and the receiving container and slipped somehow. Godammit. You can still see it. Use extra protection now, but it had to be the modern Mopar with the extra capacity. These modern cars are a pia to get under by comparison.

Think I saw that on FHV lol....and I change the oil while it's hot and let it drip out while doing something else. Just need to have the vehicle inside and away from the breeze.

Had to make a pair of low rise ramps for my youngest's Pitiful Thing Cruiser. And was glad she got rid of that pos!

On the subject, besides not getting killed, prevent injury and collateral damage. No matter how crappy your paint use a cover. And don’t bash your head on the hood latch.

Is that where the other one went???

 

[Budnicks]

a lil' logic/common sense before she started would be good

wait ?

funny though

 

[Don Frelier]

That truck REALLY needed an oil change.

I had something completely different in mind when I think about a woman covered in oil!
