I know it's the second worst oil change in history cause you ain't told your
story yet and I'm the first liar at this dance...
So here's the deal... Tonya's getting ready to go up to Virginia to see her
kids... she decides this After all the oil change places in town have closed
on Saturday.... so... the difference between a new spouse and an old one is
that you work on the car Before they leave in hopes they will come back... (
okay it's my theory... work with me here ) Let the Saga begin...
I run off to the local parts store while the shop's heat is taking shape...
and when I get back with all the goodies ( filter Oil...2 snickers bars ) you
know the Stuff ... I set up all my pretty little snap-on tools... filter
wrench the like... ( and a cool diet coke from the fridge to wash down that
first snickers bar ) Pitch the car up on jacks... and since it's the first
time I've done this to a late model mustang ... I rumage around till I get it
up there without destroying the A/C lines or crimping the fuel line... all of
which are un-protected from the ever present jack man...
Bump your head on the corner of the desk real quick to put you in the mood
Okay now that we are in the mood .... put away all those wrench's and grab the
junk stuff that's got the MM's on them... cause this puppy ain't American... (
I don't care what you think of Metric's... I'm old and happy leave me alone )
Okay now you try 3 sockets to find the right size for the drain plug and pull
that puppy out.... quick catch the projectile Oil in the drain pan... WHAT do
you mean some idiot put the Jack Stand right in the way.... Damn it man..
quick hold it up... you can catch the last few drips before it joins the rest
on the floor... Whew that was ugly.... but the moods still semi good.... lets
move on to that nasty filter.... Sure you got stuff to do this... wheres that
dang screwdriver...and the hammer.... NO DANG IT... the can can't rip off this
ain't fair.... oh well.... The Mongo Channel locks will grap that flange
edge.... yep... that's going to work...
Then of course you have to do fill it up..... ( Yes I put the plug back in you
dip ).... Then to deal with the used oil and clean up the mess... Pour the
used stuff in the gallon jug.... ( Yep... a Mustang holds 5 qts... but you had
to clean up the floor anyway... get over it! )
Present car to your sweety... and then go back and wipe all the oil off it
like she told you to... dang woman...
Life is Good....
Keith.... ( Next time I'm make sure to have it changed in advance... what a
pain )
