How to Change the Oil in Your Jeep. . .

Women:

 

1. Pull in to Jiffy Lube when the mileage reaches 3,000 since the last oil change

 

2. Drink a cup of coffee

 

3. Fifteen minutes later, pay $25 and leave with a properly maintained Jeep

 

Men:

 

1. Go to NAPA Auto Parts and pay $30 for oil, filter, hand cleaner, scented tree air freshener, and numerous other items you realize you need

 

2. Discover that your used oil collection container is full; take it to the recycling center

 

3. Spend 20 minutes trying to locate your floor jack and jack stands; no luck

 

4. Have a beer; you don't really need to jack up the Jeep anyway

 

5. Place used oil collection container under the engine

 

6. Pull out socket wrench and socket; the 5th one you try is finally the correct size

 

7. Unscrew oil drain plug

 

8. Drop drain plug in oil; splashing hot oil all over you (and the garage floor) in the process

 

9. Wipe off face with dirty shop rag and sprinkle kitty litter on garage floor where oil splashed

 

10. Have another beer while oil is draining

 

11. Look 15 minutes for oil filter wrench; no luck

 

12. Poke oil filter with a Phillips screwdriver and twist it off

 

13. Wipe oil off of your arm with same dirty rag used in step 9; sprinkle more kitty litter on floor

 

14. Buddy shows up; finish off 6-pack with him. Screw the oil change; finish it tomorrow!

 

15. Next day, drag full oil collection container out from underneath the Jeep

 

16. Sprinkle more kitty litter on oil spilled during step 15

 

17. Have a . . . wait, no beer left, drank it all yesterday

 

18. Walk 2 miles to Corner Store; buy more beer

 

19. Apply a thin coat of clean oil to gasket and install new oil filter

 

20. Dump first quart of fresh oil into engine

 

21. Remember drain plug from step 8!

 

22. Scramble to find drain plug in oil collection container

 

23. Hurry to replace drain plug before entire quart of fresh oil drains all over floor

 

24. Slip with wrench and bang knuckles on frame; band head on floor board in reaction

 

25. Begin cussing fit and throw wrench across garage

 

26. Clean up and apply Band-Aid to knuckles

 

27. Sprinkle kitty litter on one entire quart of fresh oil now pooled under the Jeep

 

28. Have another beer

 

29. Dump in remainder of oil into engine

 

30.Realize that while you were under the Jeep, it would have been a good time to grease everything, bleed the brakes, replace those dry-rotted body spacers, and find out where that hideous clanking noise is coming from

 

31. Drive back to NAPA and buy another $150 worth of parts that either won't fit, will break when you try to install them, or will be saved for a later project (all of which will have long been misplaced by the time you are ready to start subject project)

 

32. Drive Jeep (1-quart low of oil) for 7,000 miles; then return to Step 1

I'd like to add the step of using a metal strap wrench for the filter and when trying to slip it on over the end of the filter, the strap contacts the starter and sends sparks flying into your (my) face. :oops:

And I'd like to add after that step..."Drink more beer to dull the pain"

I dunno, its 5/8" or 14mm depending on the 4.0 :smart:

 

I have actually never had such a long experience changing the Jeep's oil. Now the wifes Camry....that car ruins me.

 

Yup I'm at the point where I've memorized half the sizes of the bolts on my MJ. 14mm drain plug on mine, seeing as I've done 4 oil changes on the MJ this year alone I'm getting pretty good at it.

Hilarious. Thank you. I think the last time I changed oil on my vehicle I was still in KC, freezing cold, ended up going through many of these steps except I should have stopped to drink beer, my biggest regret.

Staying on the workshop theme, this one's been going around the net for a while.

Still makes me laugh when I read it again as I've experienced most of them! If you own a Comanche then you probably have too :D

 

Hammer: Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to locate expensive car parts not far from the object we are trying to hit.

 

Mechanic's Knife: Used to open and slice through the contents of cardboard cartons delivered to your front door; works particularly well on boxes containing convertible tops or tonneau covers.

 

Electric Hand Drill: Normally used for spinning steel Pop rivets in their holes until you die of old age, but it also works great for drilling rollbar mounting holes in the floor of a sports car just above the brake line that goes to the rear axle.

 

Hacksaw: One of a family of cutting tools built on the Ouija board principle. It transforms human energy into a crooked, unpredictable motion, and the more you attempt to influence its course, the more dismal your future becomes.

 

Vise-Grips: Used to round off bolt heads. If nothing else is available, they can also be used to transfer intense welding heat to the palm of your hand.

 

Oxyacetelene Torch: Used almost entirely for lighting those stale garage cigarettes you keep hidden in the back of the Whitworth socket drawer (What wife would think to look in there?) because you can never remember to buy lighter fluid for the Zippo lighter you got from the PX at Fort Campbell

 

Zippo Lighter: See oxyacetelene torch.

 

Whitworth Sockets: Once used for working on older British cars and motorcycles, they are now used mainly for hiding six-month old Salems from the sort of person who would throw them away for no good reason.

 

Drill Press: A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat metal bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and flings your beer across the room, splattering it against the Rolling Stones poster over the bench grinder.

 

Wire Wheel: Cleans rust off old bolts and then throws them somewhere under the workbench with the speed of light. Also removes fingerprint whorls and hard-earned guitar callouses in about the time it takes you to say, "Django Reinhardt".

 

Hydraulic Floor Jack: Used for lowering a Mustang to the ground after you have installed a set of Ford Motorsports lowered road springs, trappng the jack handle firmly under the front air dam.

 

Eight-Foot Long Douglas Fir 2X4: Used for levering a car upward off a hydraulic jack.

 

Tweezers: A tool for removing wood splinters.

 

Phone: Tool for calling your neighbor Chris to see if he has another hydraulic floor jack.

 

Snap-On Gasket Scraper: Theoretically useful as a sandwich tool for spreading mayonnaise; used mainly for getting dog-doo off your boot.

 

E-Z Out Bolt and Stud Extractor: A tool that snaps off in bolt holes and is ten times harder than any known drill bit.

 

Timing Light: A stroboscopic instrument for illuminating grease buildup on crankshaft pulleys.

 

Two-Ton Hydraulic Engine Hoist: A handy tool for testing the tensile strength of ground straps and hydraulic clutch lines you may have forgotten to disconnect.

 

Craftsman 1/2 x 16-inch Screwdriver: A large motor mount prying tool that inexplicably has an accurately machined screwdriver tip on the end without the handle.

 

Battery Electrolyte Tester: A handy tool for transferring sulfuric acid from car battery to the inside of your toolbox after determining that your battery is dead as a doornail, just as you thought.

 

Aviation Metal Snips: See Hacksaw.

 

Trouble Light: The mechanic's own tanning booth. Sometimes called a drop light, it is a good source of vitamin D, "the sunshine vitamin", which is not otherwise found under cars at night. Health benefits aside, its main purpose is to consume 40-watt light bulbs at about the same rate that 105-mm howitzer shells might be used during, say, the first few hours of the Battle of the Bulge. More often dark than light, its name is somewhat misleading.

 

Phillips Screwdriver: Normally used to stab the lids of old-style paper-and-tin oil cans and splash oil on your shirt; can also be used, as the name implies, to round off Phillips screw heads.

 

Air Compressor: A machine that takes energy produced in a coal-burning power plant 200 miles away and transforms it into compressed air that travels by hose to a Chicago Pneumatic impact wrench that grips rusty suspension bolts last tightened 40 years ago by someone in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, and rounds them off.

 

Grease Gun: A messy tool for checking to see if your zerk fittings are still plugged with rust

Air Compressor: A machine that takes energy produced in a coal-burning power plant 200 miles away and transforms it into compressed air that travels by hose to a Chicago Pneumatic impact wrench that grips any bolts last tightened 25 years ago by someone in Toledo Ohio, and instantly snaps the bolthead without so much as shifting the threads.
