What a dumb ass
Ok, I have to relay this experience I had today.
I'm on my way to work this morning on the freeway and I start to hear the valves tapping. I look over and my oil pressure is at 0. Krap, so I pull over immediately and pop the hood. I have oil everywhere. On the street, on the engine, on the inside of the hood, everywhere. So at that moment a tow truck driver pulls up (I'm on the 55 freeway in Orange County California, just before the 405 exit). Now, in California it appears these freeway tow trucks will pull off the freeway for free then you need to call another tow truck or deal with it where he decides to drop you. We go up a couple of exits and he makes his way to the drop off location and as we make it there he passes three filling stations along the way. It appears they cannot stop at a private business due to some legalities so further down the road we go. Finally we get to the drop off site and I have to hoof it back to the filling station to buy some oil. I get back to the jeep with the oil, poured some in and cranked it up to see where it's leaking. A huge gusher comes out at the oil filter seam (where the filter meets the block) so I hurry up and turn it off. Now I need to hoof it to find someone to sell me an oil filter. Luckily, a couple of businesses down the street a repair shop has one to fit my jeep. Filter in hand, I now hoof it back to the jeep and pull the old one off. When I did that I saw the problem. I had changed the oil last weekend and filter along with it. I didn't notice at the time but the rubber gasket from the old filter was still attached to the block and when I put the new filter on there was a double layer of this rubber gasket (one from the old filter and one from the new). My engine is black and the gasket is black so in my older years I didn't see it. So it wasn't sealing correctly of course. I got the new one (just one gasket this time) on and put the oil in and all was good again. So I made it to work with oil all over my office pants but made it in anyway. Moral of the story is: Carry an extra filter and change of oil and make sure the crappin filter is on correctly. Bill |

heheh-happened to my gf a looong time ago she had a friend change her oil
