I also needed to get it out of the house before mom comes home and breaks my arm. Got some smoke in the house, smells like a garage.
in over 9 years on bitog, I can't recall anyone doing anything as dumb as this, and then announcing it to the world, per bitog. no disrespect, but you 'gotta admit -- this IS dumb.
i already have a copy of this on my fridge.

Your recollection is poor.
Ihatetochangeoil, your first post should have been written as well as your reply to its response. You set yourself up.

People who are trying to clean up a used engine look for a change in color as am indication of a proper cleansing. If the oil doesn't change color then the oil obviously isn't cleaning... Right? Who knows.
