And now it's time for another old story from the old days.

At the GCA RADAR shop at Miramar, we had permission to work on our cars on our time off

attachment.php


We had one chief who didn't know a phillips screwdriver from a socket set. Interesting, for some reason I cannot even remember his name, anymore

One afternoon I was there, "doing something" and he was going to change his oil. 67 Chev, he had. So he asked me "how do you?"

I said "you know how to get it jacked up safely?"

"I think so."

I said, "well you crawl under there and find the plug on the bottom of the engine, and let all the oil fall out."

I wasn't payin much attention. Some time later, he comes over, "Something's wrong. It won't move."

Turns out someone had ADDED A DRAIN PLUG to the turbohydro, and he'd drained the transmission pan!!!

This means of course that he had just got done pouring 4-5 quarts of engine oil in on top of whatever was already in the engine.

So now not only did he have to run back to the store (with someone else) and buy some ATF, but had to buy some more engine oil LOL
 
^^^ LOL same story in NAS North Island in 1979. BUT he unbolted the trans.oil pan. Same outcome tho. I could go on for days about my auto hobby shop theatrics. What a life!
 
That's pretty funny. I enjoyed.
 
Oil change for me....I know it is a newer car that tells you when to change your oil but I know 5000 miles is enough regardless of how it has been driven. Most of my vehicles are driven here or there <1000 miles a year so once a year oil changes.

My wife the vehicle still says 10% left. I know it has been 9000 miles but the new electronics can't be wrong....so I am driving her vehicle to dinner. Oh crap! oil pressure goes to zero. Electronics say stop driving immediately. I wait 10 minutes and start. It goes to full pressure so I head home...it starts going towards zero again. I get home and put 1+ quarts in to fill back to full. Start and it is OK then heads back towards zero pressure. Change oil and filter back to 100% OK. 6.2L 400+ HP SUV with tiny 1/4 quart sized oil filter can't wait until almost 10K miles for an oil change!
