You're Going to Laugh/Cry

It is WITHOUT the filter.

It’s 5.5qt WITH filter

5.5qt = 5.2L

The good old metric system.

 

I once rewired an engine harness with high temp stereo wire thinking, well at least this lists a temp range.

 

Well, it may not run good.
But it should at least sound good?
Sounds logical enough

Maybe someone else will make the same mistake two days from now

 

It’s funny you say this. My dad before we could take the cars had to know how to change the oil, change a tire etc. Wanted to take the boat out. Had to know how to back up the trailer, load/unload the boat, hook up the trailer etc. there was always a lesson to be learned. Way to many cream puffs nowadays eyes glued to the tv, Xbox on there phone. At least op caught it quick and will get a little ribbing from us. Also love seeing your kids learning , that’s awesome!!

 

Even gorillas don’t have hair on nipples man

We all gotta start somewhere and learn as we go

 

You can’t mess up, if you don’t try.
You need to pull the dipstick and look at the oil level next time.
If you had done that, you’d likely seen the mistake before you started the truck.

We all make mistakes, it’s good you tried.
I wouldn’t let it deter you from preforming other maintenance yourself.
No reason to quit over a mistake. It happens.

 

What the shit? I can’t believe how often this happens.

 

You're fine. You didn't drive far enough to do any damage.
The only thing you did today, was learn a good lesson.

 

lol

Like when you’re 20’ up on a ladder in the summer sweating your balls off cutting the 120V gutter heater cables off the roof the previous owner installed when you find a strange one that doesn’t seem to branch off the others and you know you should just climb down to grab your multimeter juuuuuuust to make sure there’s nothing there before you snip it but you’re like “no I’m good I shut the breaker off” but back in your mind you’re thinking “what if it’s on another breaker? Nah, they wouldn’t be that stupid” and you cut the wire anyways when it would have just taken you literally like 30 seconds to be CERTAIN....

Yeah, you’ve got a LOT of life ahead of you to make a lot more dumber mistakes dude.

 

Amen to that! !

 

22yrs ago, I was 14 and my older brother was 21, we got into a racing simulation videogame on the original PlayStation called Gran Turismo...from that game we learned about tuning and performance modification which lead to our own real-world legwork in reserching and tinkering with my brother's (at the time) latest '99 Honda Civic EX...from then on he and I have been motorheads, thanks to a videogame...

...and never had to change blinker fluid once!

 

I mean to be fair, I had a Hanes manual next to me and did everything else correctly, no stripped bolts, no broken anything, I just hit the wrong plug. A big mistake, yes, but its not like I YOLO'ed this and dropped 14 quarts of oil till it was coming out of the cap then drove away with no plug in the bottom.

It's a stupid mistake, and hopefully wont sink me lol

 

If it helps make sense, I'm a Electrician. We dont do well with oil or grease lol

 

I haven't seen any pop out from the hand full of cat-back exhaust systems or exhaust headers I've installed...yet...
