Car needed a service.

Done the plugs then decided to do the oil......

Sump plug off - oil draining - lovely.
Get to work on the filter - coming off...... Slips out my hand into the bucket and covers me in dirty oil.

Nice

Still new plugs, coolant and oil.
Car is loving it

Edit - was also playing with death with the car on a crappy normal "sissor" jack with the wind playing havoc - was "Extreme oil change" Teddy style.....

Can i get an OOOOHHH YYYYEEEAAAHHH

I lost the sump plug on my Celica whilst changing the oil on saturday...

luckily my mate had a spare engine a few miles up the road, so I pinched the one off that to get me sorted

Latex or Nitrol gloves all they way

Or Vinyl if you are a pikey and steal them from work (like I do sometimes

)

FFS, I get dermatitis and dont wear gloves when doing oil changes. Poofs. More effort than their worth sometimes.

Get some nitrol gloves Jake. For an oil change gloves aren't essential but you should wear them when doing brakes and things...
