Idk why I was expecting anything other than what that comm was, but I’m pleased to have been wrong.

Subbed. I encourage you, dear reader, to do the same.

Its like when the sommelier shows you the wine bottle. You feel like a real “client”

Just don’t smell the cork like a moron.

Everyone knows that if you don’t eat the cork then you aren’t getting your money’s worth.

Me as the pit dude, like your oil drain plug is missing, you have no oil, how the fuck did you make it here?
Lv_InSaNe_vL@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Quit trying to upsell me and just do the oil change!

It appears that cylinder 3 is now locked up, but we can have a couple helpers push your car out. Put it in neutral Karen…

This gave me flashbacks

I miss working the pit. No customer interaction, I knew what filter and where as the car rolled in, and it was smooth. I do not miss the little burns, and being covered in oil and sweat, and the occasional smashed hand from the diff plate bolt suddenly coming loose.
over_clox@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I was the weirdo that could change a filter with my left hand, while eating my lunch sandwich with my right hand totally clean.
There were still oddball incidents though, like magnetic oil plugs getting stuck magnetically and spraying my face with hot oil :(

Remember when you could mix the cake mix off the spoon as a kid? Yeah, the mechanics won’t let me do that.

It just needs to be clear and set close to the max fill line. If it’s low and/or dark, it wasn’t done right.
Alternatively, if you’re in a place dedicated to oil changes, you can assume it wasn’t done right.

My oil always has sparkles in it, it makes my car feel pretty

The last time I went to an oil change place, I wanted it done because I was leaving town the next day. I usually have my regular mechanic (who is excellent and honest; a rare breed) do it, or I do it myself.
The ten minute oil change took an hour and change. They tried to upsell me on a bunch of bullshit and gave me stink eye when I politely told them I just need a conventional oil change, thanks.
They overfilled it by about .75 of a quart. I had to take care of that myself before the aforementioned road trip. The car only holds about four quarts in total.
They charged twice as much as my mechanic who knows what he’s doing and gives a shit. Never again.

Fucking your car up, right before your eyes.
frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
Why I change my own oil. Not because I save money–generally don’t even before your time is factored in–but because I know how to put on an oil pan bolt without cross threading it.

Transmission fluid is the real “I have no idea what that means” thumbs up.
Because it should hopefully always be clear but it depends where…… and how warm…. And how clean the dipstick was….
(I recently had transmission issues and omfg there isn’t even a light on my car for low transmission fluid wtf??)
ghostlychonk@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Most vehicles don’t even seem to have transmission dipsticks at all, now.

They should not have it near the max fill line right after a change. Certainly not all the oil has settled and more will. If it’s near max, them I guarantee more than max is inside there. There’s a reason there’s a range that’s acceptable.
