changing oil

[smithma7 at gmail.com (Mike Smith)]

At the last gas station / garage I worked at, a number of replacement
engines were bought for customers due to idiots working on the oil changes.
One guy was filling a station wagon with oil and asked "How many quarts does
this thing take?"  When asked, he said he had already put 7 in and it was
still not showing on the dip stick.  From the back of the car (which was
slightly downhill from the front) a dark puddle could be seen growing.
Forgot to put the drain plug back in.  I've also seen customers pull up in
the evening with no oil in their cars.  Seems they had gotten an oil change
that morning or the day before.  Open the hood, oil is everywhere and
there's no oil cap to be seen.

I've even seen cars fall off lifts at this place.  lol... none of this
stupidity ever being my doing, of course.
