shop truck, another coworker was doing most of the work, i was just kinda playing assistant.
he gets sent to get the oil and filter, parts stores computer says it takes 25 quarts or something of the sort.
4 gallons get dumped in, i thought it was only 3 at this point and i KNOW i gave it more then 3 last time the oil was changed, but i couldnt remember exactly what it took
i cant find the capacities in the book, ive hardly even looked yet really and the boss's son comes out while im pulling the dipstick just to see if were close yet. i mean thats kinda what the dipstick is there for right ?
turns out the book says 10 qts, we have 16 quarts in it, boss's son say to drain out 1 1/2 gallons. in the eman time i check the dipstick again and it APPEARS where maybe 1.5 QUARTS high, judging by the distance between the Full and low marks
if for the sake of this discussion the F and L marks ar 1 inch apart, we were about 1.25 inches ABOVE the full mark.
i get overruled and ordered to remove 1.5 gallons. i do so.
oil no longer touched the dipstick, but the boss's son fires the truck up anyways because apparently its important to "cycle the oil" before checking the level
so it runs for like 5 minutes while Jr runs around counting empties and consulting the book.
by the time we were done adding oil again, we had dumped 1 gallon back in, and the dipstick showed that we were about 1/2 quart below full.
Please tell me that truck will be dead by wednesday, that would make my day
