Got the Oil Changed in the Beast

January 29, 2011, 04:29:10 PM

Thought I'd get my wife's 8 y/o to help me out, as he was all about it, when the 'underbird was here.

So, we crawled under the pick 'em up truck (it's niiiiiiiice not needing a jack, btw) and I got the drain plug loose enough for Keven to finish taking off. Well, as soon as the oil hit his hand, he screamed like a girl, hit his head, cried, then I had to wipe the oil off of his face, and hair :)

5 quarts of Pennzoil 10W30 & a K&N oil filter, and half a box of Tidy Cat, we're ready to rock 'n' roll for another 3,000 miles

I'm actually glad we only used half of a box, too. We've got to do the Jetta, tomorrow

Here is my little helper. I was almost scared to fire this motor up wasn't sure if there would be extra things in the cylinders or not. LOL

I've used valvoline for the whole 11 years that I've been driving. I've never had any problem with it. I couldnt say the same for Pennzoil, I've never torn apart a motor that I knew had been ran with Pennzoil.
My father inlaw uses Pennzoil.

This was the C-1500 I'd changed the oil in. I may just go ahead and switch back to Havoline after some of these replies

Well, got the Jetta done, today. About fifteen minutes ago, as a matter of fact. It wasn't too bad, but talk about a lack of working space (much like anything else I've done to the car)

Oh well, now the Jetta's good for 3K
