The Redneck Oil Change Checklist
1. Go to O'Reilly auto parts and write a check for $50 dollars for oil, filter, kitty litter, hand cleaner and scented tree. 2. Discover that the used oil container is full. Instead of taking it back to O'Reilly to recycle, dump in hole in back yard. 3. Open a beer and drink it. 4. Jack car up. Spend 30 minutes looking for jack stands. 5. Find jack stands under kid's pedal car. 6. In frustration, open another beer and drink it. 7. Place drain pan under engine. 8. Look for 9/16 box end wrench. 9. Give up and use crescent wrench. 10.

I worked at a gas station a LONG time ago. The guy in charge was probably about 50, and a drunk. He had an old Ford Galaxy, with a 390 in it. He never changed the oil. The car would burn a quart every 1.5k - 2k miles. He just kept adding oil, figuring it was like changing the oil.
That's a redneck oil change. That darn Ford was still running when I left the gas station. |
