Anyone whose ever changed oil a few times has done that Jack. At least you didn't let the truck down onto the catch pan - you didn't, did you?
Something As Simple As Changing You Own Oil
- Thread starter FATJACK
- Start date
My dealer charges $7 labor for an oil change....I supply the oil....I use to do it myself but just not worth $7.....
Hey fatboy i did the same thing last week with a trans pan ,,,told my buddy to take them lil bolts off except like two on each side then we would drop pan nice and slow ,,,dumb ass took them all off ,i slid drain pan in and it seemed like the wind blew just a tad more ,,,and guess what ,,,BLOOP damn pan dropped two feet hit the driveway and 4 quarts of automatic trans fluid hose us both down !so i ran in his back yard and jumped in his nice freshly cleaned pool

FATJACK said:Nothing could be easier than changing the oil on these trucks, right? Well if your name is FatJack you should know nothing is simple. Got it all jacked up and on jack stands, slid my 15 qt. drain pan under her and got started. Nothing simpler. The drain plug points to the rear and not straight down so I am thinking this bitch is gonna shoot oil out a foot or so and I don't wanna make a huge mess in the garage floor so I scoot the pan way back and loosen the plug. This damn thing must shoot oil back at least 2 feet and of course the first quart or so overshoots the pan (slow reaction time, I am old)
So I get the friggin mess cleaned up and put the plug back in and move to the front. Our Oil Filters are also super easy to get to and it loosen very easy. I was real careful with it and knew it was gonna leak a little oil coming off so I backed it off a little and thought that it was finished draining, nothing could be simpler. I turn it about a half turn more and oil gushes everywhere, I got it in my face and on my shirt and all over the floor, of course I am laying on back back under the truck. Amongst all the sweating and cussing I got it done probably will let the Dealer do it next time.
Holy FFFFF….. This thread should be moved to offensive quick. GD Jack, did you :deal:read what you wrote? You slid under her Jacked up body, her gushing hot fluid got on your face and your shirt after you plugged her hole.. You were sweating from the ordeal…. Borden referenced something about your dipstick? Your 15 qt. bed pan was involved too; WTF?!? WOO, I had to stop reading. :dontknow:WHAT IN THE HELL WERE YOU REALLY DOING? Some Kama Sutra stuff? Got any pics there, uh buddy? We all should be so lucky for our oil changes to be this good.

I have always changed my own oil on my vehicles. My first oil change on the 10 was similar to yours Jack, but for a different reason. I managed to get the oil drained out with only splashing a little around on the driveway. I was actually kind of impressed with myself considering that it filled my drain pan all the way to the top and I pulled it out oh-so-carefully, only sloshing a little out onto the concrete.
But just like everything that turns out to be just too easy, Murphy's law came into full swing: unbeknownst to me, the gasket from the old oil filter was stuck onto the block. When I put the new oil filter on, there were two gaskets, the old one and the new one. When I started it up to drive it down from the ramps, it blew out the two gaskets and pumped about 4 quarts or so of fresh Mobil 1 all over the driveway, the ramps, the bottom of the motor, the inside of the wheels, the front brakes, and up into the radiator. It only took about 30 seconds to do all of this. The oil pressure gauge didn't even flinch -- it just stayed up around 75 psi while backing down the ramp. I didn't notice until I opened the door with the motor still running and saw oil spraying out about 8 feet out from under the truck and all over my legs.
So, I then had to take the wife's car back over to the auto parts store to buy another case of Mobil 1 to top off the truck. But, before I could drive her car, I had to strip off my pants (since they got sprayed with oil) and jump into the shower to rinse off all the oil that somehow had gotten all over my legs and the back of my head. I looked like a complete retard who had never changed oil before. And, to add insult to injury, when I went out to the driveway to get in the wife's car to go to the parts store to buy more oil, she was standing there admiring my Exxon Valdez reenactment that I had done in the driveway all the while with that look that only your wife can give you when you have had a major f-up.
One week later, a 30 foot strip of grass along my driveway died from the oil.
So hey, don't feel bad.
