    Back when I was a service manager at a Mazda/VW/Subaru dealership I remember three different Subaru Outbacks and Legacys that were towed in with the complaint of "won't pull itself, transmission seems to be slipping badly." Guess what? All three had been to Jiffy Lube type places, the kid in the oil pit had no clue that the oil pan and trans pan were wide by side and looked identical, and of course drained out the wrong pan. Easy diagnosis, just check the engine oil and gee, it's 5 quarts overfull.

    Got involved in a couple of lawsuits as an expert witness, the moral of the story...don't every trust your beloved vehicle to some clueless wannabe tech at a quick lube shop!

    Take the rubber plug off of it, and use a thin wire to poke the crap and get it to fall out. :)

    The oil cooler is kinda in the way, but I might have a look with the flash light and see if there's anything that I'd break poking around in there.


    I'm going to crap in your mouth while you're sleeping. You realize this yes?
