On the way to Talon’s bus stop this morning, we stopped by an auto parts store to pick up needed items for an oil change. It’s been ages since I have changed the oil in my vehicles myself, and it always gives me a tiny bit of satisfaction. A few things I did, however, let slip my mind.
- If the truck was just running, the oil will be hot.
- The oil that spills over when you remove the filter will be hot (if the truck has been running)
- If wearing gloves that are quickly covered with hot (see above) oil, one should remove them as quickly as possible since they continue to burn.
- I have to vacuum my own truck when I change the oil. Bummer
I hear adding ice cubes helps cool the oil a bit
