But what do I know, I'm just a dumb machinist


Nate's random thought of the day:

The existence of a "sanitary napkin" implies the existence of an unsanitary napkin

The only true, manly way to do it is a full engine disassembly, cleaning, reassembly, and oil fill. Everything else is a shortcut.

That statement opens up a rabbit hole.

I can’t come up with any examples, I’m completely out of energy today.

Napkins are simply toilet paper for your hands.

Also, I drain it cold. That way all the oil is dripped out of the engine and into the pan

If you're doing it hot, you have a bunch of oil up in the engine and you're going to miss the opportunity to drain it

Drain it cold too, but more because I don't feel like burning my hands.

Napkins are simply toilet paper for your hands (potty?) mouth.

FIFY

My trucks oil change is done then

(Instead of cleaning.... they installed a new long block)

Did you get a rebuild?

 

[yoko]

Did you get a rebuild?

I sent a 6.2 liter to Jesus lol

I'm not positive what the warranty replace is.... brand new or rebuild I'll find out when I pick it up


But if i time it just right ...... I'll never have to pay for an oil change again lol

Not the new truck, I hope?

Yup lol

I'm not worried everything is covered

I actually have an extremely nice bidet toilet, heated seat, fan, flushes automatically, and other auto features. Night light too. I highly recommended it although, not a cheap date

I guess I usually use napkins for my hands but mouth too I guess.

DAMN!

The real question that would blow my mind...... does it have cup holders hahahahahaha

Plenty of different takes.

The most sensible one I’ve seen, is that you want any particles in the oil to be in suspension.

The 0w16 oil flows easily (hot or cold), so any amount that hasn’t flowed down to the sump/oil pan and drained in ~10 minutes, isn’t going to change appreciably from sitting overnight.

As for burning my hands, that’s another benefit of the Valvomax drain valve. The protective cap doesn’t get overly hot no matter how much driving is done prior, so unscrewing that and screwing on the drain attachment with the attached hose, is easy.

The drain hose+valve attachment will be hot after draining hot oil, but the way the valve + hose works avoids the potential of splashing hot oil, so the only consideration is unscrewing the hot drain attachment + hose combo, for which I have insulated rubber coated gloves, which I also use for swapping the oil filter. I reuse the same pair of gloves, because they can be easily washed with Dawn dish soap (for the occasional errant drips when removing the old filter).

That's because they wear their toilet paper at the neck.

No but a remote and a kick button at the base to flush or open the lid. you can control water pressure, fan, seat/water temp. its badass. When I put it in I was made fun of by my wife, now she wishes she had it in all the bathrooms in our house. Hell my kids love it too. It actually auto opens when you walk in the "water closet"
