I have to say that some of these thing's are so true guys.
I still do my own just because I can.

What is so funny is these things I have seen happen.:toothy10:.

Thanks for sharing this cool story :-D :toothy7:
 
lol geez an oil change is cheap where you are. it's like 60 bucks for a regular dyno oil change at the local lube place. if you wanna go with a synthetic it's over 100!
 
My ex's best saying was " Gee, I think I changed the oil sometime last year, do I have to do it again this year?"
 
or...
Drive to Jiffy Lube, wait while pimply kid changes oil, sipping your coffee. Pay the $20.00 and drive away feeling smug that you didn't spend $4500.00 like your neighbor Bubba. So smug, in fact, that you don't notice the shiney stripe of oil uncoiling behind your car caused by the oil plug left loose by the pimple-faced kid falling out, until it is brought to your attention by the red idiot light blaring in your eyes as your motor bucks and wheezes out it's death rattle, right up to the point where it seizes.....
Coffee- $1.00
Oil change- $20.00
Cab fare- $30.00
tow fee- $60.00
Exchange engine- $3000.00

Lost wages-3 days $300.00

Enjoy your coffee!!
 
Funny, but as captainkirk said, many people end up spending WAY more at Jiffy Lube. I personally know two people who had Jiffy Lube (two different locations) forget to put the drain plug back in all the way resulting in it falling out on the way home. No lie. I'll keep doing ours.
 
I change the Sport myself,but my car and truck,I have my son take to work. All I have to do is buy the oil and filter,he does the rest for free!! Of course there is more to the story. Last week he serviced my car,so I got him 5 top sirloin steaks,2 packs of ground round,2 bags charcoal,12 pack of beer,diapers for the grandson,and a $100 bill for the baby picture fund. Not bad for a free oil change,huh!!!
 
73 RedDuster,
Ain't so bad.......
At least you can go to his house,drink his beer and eat his steak that he grilled so nicely, spoil the grandkids and go home with a full belly while he does the dishes and changes the diaper on the whiney kid that grandpa fed all that sugary stuff to.
 
You forgot some steps for the women
While waiting for car
find outfit in magazine
$50 gas looking for outfit
$150 for outfit
$50 shoes to go with outfit
$75 new handbag to go with outfit
$75 new hairdo to go with new outfit
$25 parking ticket to get to the new outfit without walking
$2500 for new motor when jiffy lube guy doesn't tighten oil plug
Total $2900 plus oil change
 
There is a Mr lube here in town and you can still see the oil line on the road.
And the oil they use for a fact is reprocessed and dark.
Go buy a new quart of lets say Penzoil and ask for a quart of there penzoil and put them in a clear glass. Nasty dark @hit from the fast lube jobs.

Been there and seen it myself.
 
4500 wont touch my motor. So if some moron didnt tighten the drain plug im still ahead. Plus I like beer

Yeah,that's what makes it all worthwhile. It's great being Grandpa.
 
Xcptshnl1, thats a classic!!


I love step # 28: Uncover hole and sift for drain plug. :)
LoL!!
 
73....
My dad stated that you never realize how old you are until the 6 year old is standing next to you, screaming for Grandpa and it takes a minute to realize that she is not calling you....she is calling your youngest son!!
And he spoiled them till the day he died and enjoyed every minute that he spent with them.

Spoil 'em, crank them up, sugar them up, keep them up then send them home!!
 
properly maintained vehicle form jiffy lube ? thats the funny part of this joke.

I won't go to my local lube place EVER again. One trip, they cross threaded the drain plug and 5 quarts of oil were on the street by the time I drove around the block. My next visit they broke the key off in the ignition. I don't know where they can possibly find these kids? No work ethic and not a brain between the bunch.
 
They told me it was ready and I started paying then see them pushing my truck back inside. Left the filter off.
 
My Son Works At A Dearlership. They Got A 2005 Doge Truck Hemi. Took The Drain Plug Offand No Oil. Took The Filter Off, No Oil. 30,000. The Guy Told Them He Never Had The Oil Changed. No Light Came On , No Codes. Could Find No Leaks. They Put Two Quarts Of Tranny Fluid Drove Around The Lot And Put Oil In It Runs Fine. Too Scared To Sell On Lot So They Took It To The Auction To Get Rid Of It.
 

8 ) Look for 9/16 box end wrench.
