Oil changes (Men vs. Women -- a rebuttal!)

[Benzadmiral]

We've all seen this one on the 'net over the years, with the Oil Change Instructions for Women (essentially, "Go to Jiffy Lube") and the funny if overdone instructions for men, emphasizing the use of beer.

I got tired of this and wrote my rebuttal:

Oil Change Instructions for Women:

1) Pull up to Jiffy Lube when the mileage reaches 3000 miles since the last oil change.
2) Drink a cup of coffee
3) 15 minutes later, write a check and leave with a properly maintained vehicle.

Money spent:
Oil Change: $20.00
Coffee: $1.00
Total: $21.00

But then . . .
4) Engine seizes because JL "technician" left drain plug out
5) Call tow truck; scream at JL manager
6) New engine, $2500
7) Rental car while dealer installs new engine, $500 ($50/day x 10 days)
7) Lawyer to threaten to sue JL, $85.00/hr. (I could be way low on this)
8) JL eventually settles, but lawyer takes big cut

End result:
New engine;
Lawyer and rental car manager are now your best friends;
You've lost 10 years off your life and gained 2,000 new gray hairs.

Point this out next time somebody sends you this misandric e-mail.

Good one - thanks! I like this one MUCH better and I'd say it is closer to reality! Good job!

Actually it's a true story I read on other forum. I also keep getting this annoying calls and letters from dealership where I bought a car one year ago. Woke me up too. grhhh i'm getting tired of it.

Had that problem with a dealership (Actually the one I work at now...) with my folks but a very pointed (but polite) conversation with the sales managers solved that In a big hurry. Since then everything has been great and we have bought 2 more cars their.
