My brother worked at pep boys while he was going to school. He had a lot of good stories like this all the time. The best was when he asked what size engine and the guy asked to borrow a tape measure. Of course he gave him one and watched as the guy measured the dimensions of his engine.
My friend tells the story of when he was working at a repair shop, an MG came into the shop on a hook. The female owner explained that she had checked the oil, and topped it off, and then it wouldn't start.
My friend drained 19 quarts of oil out of a 1600 four banger. She filled it to the bottom of the oil plug.
