Wayne Rumball's House of Nonsense

[Wayne R]

My son asked me to help him do an oil change in his car. I said OK, no problem, we'll order an oil filter and it should be here in a few days;

Then it struck me, why does my son, who doesn't give a shit about maintaining his car suddenly wants to do an oil change.

So I asked him. He said the check engine light was on and he read on internet that it meant the oil needed to be changed.

I told him that check engine light can mean a lot of things, but it will never come on because you forgot to change the oil.

So, because you can find just about anything on the innernut, I found a way to read the fault codes for check engine. Strangely, there were no fault codes. So with innernut info I reset the fault codes.

We'll see in a few days if the check engine light comes back on, OR it could be because he has WAY too much oil in the crankcase. He swears he's never touched it (which i have no doubt is true given his level of interest in maintaining his car). Tommorow I drain some out. It's a blown head gasget waiting to happen
