Okay so this is a first for me. Sure I've gotten spot of oil on the driveway before but nothing like this.
Done an oil change and true rotation on my little brothers truck. Drug out compressor and tools, jacked truck up and put on jack stands, placed oil pan and took off plug. My brother was pulling the lug nut covers off while I was doing this.
Sooo, I'm laying there waiting on the oil to drain then glance back at the pan and see the oil in the pan was about to overflow. I have the kind of pan that is covered with a plug in the middle (see where this is going). I hurried up and put the oil plug back in the trucks pan to stop the flow and assess the damage. I comment on it and say that I think I've lucked out, at this time my brother pokes his head under and says "you ought to come look at this side if you think your lucky". Long story short, out of a 6 quart sump, we poured 3 quarts out of the drain pan. So 2.5-3 quarts on the driveway. Finished up oil change and tire rotation and backed truck out, broke out the kitty litter and all is well now.
Just a small piece of my day. Painting my grandfather and 2 others graves tomorrow so hopefully no messes doing that. Hope y'all have a great weekend.
