Remember when you could lick 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.
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??)
Most vehicles don't even seem to have transmission dipsticks at all, now.
A lot still do but they’re not what you’d traditionally consider a dipstick.
Fucking your car up, right before your eyes.
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.
First time I changed the oil iny car, aged about 17, I put in about 10L then got fed up because it still wasn't filling up all the way to the fill cap.
Ah, red falcon, I don't miss you.
Or actually use a torque wrench to tighten the drain bolt instead of an impact. Uggy duggies!!
They should not have it near the max fill line right after a change. Certainly not all the oil has settled and more will. Especially if they put oil in the filter before adding it like they should. If it's near max, then I guarantee more than max is actually inside there. There's a reason there's a range that's acceptable.
Its like when the sommelier shows you the wine bottle. You feel like a real "client"
Ah 2024, great year!
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.
Man I love a good stick so rare these days
Subbed. I encourage you, dear reader, to do the same.
Idk why I was expecting anything other than what that comm was, but I’m pleased to have been wrong.
