Great post and I can relate....while I haven't changed the oil in my cars in years (use the female method you described), I do have an electric generator I use when we have power outages due to weather events.
In the past 12 years, I have used the generator on three different occasions to power my house. In each case, I ran it for five consecutive days.
Because it runs continuously, they recommend an oil change every twelve hours. So I get in the habit of doing an 8 am and 8 pm oil change....and invariably dropping the extremely hot plug into a tray of very hot oil and fishing the effing thing out with whatever is on hand.
AND on the evening changes, there is often an alcoholic beverage nearby for my greasy hands to try to manage..... |
