So I'm in a parking lot and I see this Trailblazer pull in and park with smoke pouring out of the exhaust pipe. The owner is now standing in front of the truck on his cell phone. He looks concerned.

I pull up and suggest turning the truck off. I walk up and ask if he needs help. He said he just did an "oil change" and now it's smoking. I ask how much oil he put in the engine. He says about 4 quarts. I ask if he drained the old oil first or did he just add 4 quarts to the existing oil in the engine. He says that he just added the 4 quarts because he hasn't filled it in awhile...So now he has about 8 quarts of oil in a crankcase that holds perhaps 4.

: rotfl::r otfl:

 

Uhm.... I guess the best thing to say is "Whoops"....

Hey, don't worry, it will just blow out what it doesn't need via the exhaust, that's say, right lol (fyi- I'm being sarcastic, I know that does not always translate in written word well, truth be told, that guy needs to get his crank case drained and a real oil change done).

 

Wow. When i was in high school my friend worked at an auto shop and a guy who ruined a customers car because he filled a car's crankcase to the top of the dipstick.

 

oh...my god!!

I get alot of idiots like that at work. So many stories I can't just put down one.

 

That's actually what his friend on the phone told him...some people have no clue.

 

Holy crap!!!!

 

lol lol lol

 

hahahaha

 

Haha some people

 

That sounds funny about the whole "it will just blow it out through the exhaust" but if you watch old NASCAR races from the 60s, the Fairlanes, Torinos, Chevelles, and Dodges... sometimes in a 500 mile race the crew would rush out and add 1-2 quarts of oil to the engine just to make sure it had enough and said if it was too much it would just burn it... of course, they only planned to run the engine 100-200 miles longer and under the conditions, they probably knew about how much oil it had burned, so there you go.
