Oil Change
Changed the oil on the 67 today. Was detirmined that not one of the 6 nuts was
going to fall into the drained oil as per usual this time. Not one of them did, but when tightening them back up, I dropped the ratchet and socket in the oil. Oh well maybe next time. ) Bill Berckman 67 Beetle |

Get yourself a drain pan that has a screen over it. I have a small one I got at Advance Auto Parts that works fine with
the small capacities my 2CV and Beetle hold. They aren't very expensive and make things go easier. "Bill Berckman" > wrote in message ... > Changed the oil on the 67 today.

My drain pan has a plastic screen over the opening, but the mesh is open enough that a nut could fall through. While putting fifth nut back on I thought to myself, "I better move the drain pan in case I drop one." So I moved it. Then dropped the nut. And it fell safely onto the ground. Sometimes you win one, sometimes you don't. I reckon that the number of wins and losses is a universal constant and the universe works hard to keep things in balance. My win balanced your loss. I thank you! Next time it might go the other way, and you'll be the recipient. -- Mike "Rocket J Squirrel" Elliott 71 Type 2: the Wonderbus 84 Westphalia: "Mellow Yellow (The Electrical Banana)" KG6RCR |

Bah, that's nothin. Last week I discover that it is not a good idea to
change the oil on a very windy day, and I also discover how light oil can be and what a terrible stains it leaves on the parking lot...... > Ant Bill Berckman wrote in this friggin' newsgroup: > Changed the oil on the 67 today.
