A quick Heads Up regarding oil changes

Worked for a Ford dealer for years (yes Ford). I worked on all the new cars, did the vehicle systems checks and all the warranty work for the first 5,000miles. Had a few come in with oil leaks from owner changes. Filter double gasketed. Worse yet is how many drove the car in that way to get it fixed!

Worse though is the number of missed or loose bits from the factory. Pride the fact we had a high quality rating, but you would be surprised (well maybe not) at the number of vehicles that came in with missing freeze plugs, diesels that would kick back when you shut them off and that would unscrew the fan right into the radiator, dry wheel bearings, screws through into the wiring harnesses, bolt bins full of hardware under the carpets and in the sill plates, etc. etc.

Kept me in a job though.

The double gasket sure makes a mess though when it squirts out all over when the pressure comes up.

Cheers
