But you know the job was done right!

 

for the ladies, you forgot to add $6K+ labor and tax for new engine and transmission
due to jiffy forgetting to add oil before billing customer. hahaha.

 

LOL! That was a great read. Repped!

I don't change my own but I don't let Jiffy Lube do it either. Bastards left the oil cap sitting on top of the engine one time. I let a good small business owner do it and stimulate the ecomomy at the same time.

 

LOL, #24 was the best... I've done that a few times

+rep

 

By the way, I have installed the oil drain valve which save my time without mess on my oil changes. I bought F-106 for my fit 2005.
Fumoto Quick Oil Drain Valve: Change the oil without Tools or Mess!
It works well so far.

 

was it easy to open the valve after you installed it?

Ie. I can't open it by hand right now. (haven't installed it yet)

 

Once you get the oil in the valve, it gets much smoother to move the lever.

 

That's what she said...

I couldn't help it, I tried. I tried so hard to resist.

 

LOLLLL that was hilarious!!

But I change my own oil. -_-
