Oil Change instructions for Men...


Are you kidding?
It goes more like this:
Wife asks, "Honey will you get the oil changed in the car?"  Sure will honey ...
1  Drive to favorite place usually only one car in front, sometimes none.
2  Drive in, they know the car and know what to do.
3  Coffee is free but I don't drink it so I don't get out of the car.
4  They check all the fluids and lube everything.
5  Bill is 36 bucks, hand over wife's credit card.
6  Drive out in 10 minutes.
7  Get home and give wife big kiss.  "Thank you dear."  "Anytime hon."

Next time I want a favor I remind wife how helpful I am.  :-)

And that's why I don't change my own oil anymore.  I was smarter than your guy though.  When I bought the supplies I just got another oil filter wrench too because I knew I'd never find the dozen or so I already had!   :wink:
