My car was idling like crap the other day so I figured since I just got it, it may have been awhile since anyone changed the oil out. I decided to go ahead and change the oil. I used Mobile 1 synthentic oil like I was reccomended on here. Anyways, I drain out the oil and noticed it was extremely dark and even after 10 minutes of draining, it was still coming out. I decided to go ahead and flush it to make sure all the bad stuff got out. I hooked up the hose, ran water through the engine, started it up and was waiting for the water to come out clean (The engine never went above idle so I was told this would be ok). Anyways, About 3 minutes into this, then engine starts shaking and shuts off. I figured it was all cleaned out so I plugged it up, added the oil and figured I was ready to go. WRONG! The car won't freaking start now. This car has been nothing but trouble for me, I think I am done with it.
I've only been a member here for a day butthats the most halarious and sad thing I've read in some time. In my 55 years I've been on this earth when it comes to cars I think I've seen it all and while this isn't as bad as some stuff I've seen or read it tops off a five year slump of not having something like this come through my door. After I was able to stop rolling around on the floor laughing I couldn't help but feel sorry for this guy. That was priceless
Lol, thanks B, I needed to read this. I didn't have access to the net in iraq at that time this thread came out so all I could do is listen to what you guys said about it in other threads.
At least he put oil back in it. I have heard of people forgetting to refill the motor on CUSTOMERS cars.
