I dropped my car off at Wally World to get my oil changed... I use Mobil1 (5w-30) and I bring them a Mobil1 oil filter (m104)...

Parent's went to go see a movie near by and so they were going to swing by and pick it up...

Mom calls and says that they forgot to put in Mobil1 and use my filter lol : ( They put the dino oil into my baby pfft!

So they are re-doing it...

Do they have to do some kind of flush or it should be fine if they just drain the ol' crude oil out and throw in the mobil1 right?



ps yes it's good to change your own oil, but I'm lazy and get to deal with this

You should be fine, and the next oil change will remove most of the remaining dino oil.

Had you done it yourself, you wouldn't have to deal with this.

I'm calling the police and asking them to buy me a new engine lol


jk but wouldn't that be funny

Its no problem at all. You can switch from synth to dino at every change and the engine wont care.
Mobil 1 is fully compatible with dino oils- so a little residue will not affect anything.
Next time buy car ramps at wally world and a drain pan.
Wanna bet the drain plug does not get a new crush washer AND its way past 29 ft lbs torque

Anyone-??? bueller????

Just do it yourself next time. Real men get down and dirty with their TLs!!

Doc Holliday

lol...


oh, shit... I forgot to give them the crush washer... I have a few in my console pfft!

oh well... They gave me the change for free and I'm going to do it a couple months early next time...

The place is called Wally World? For some reason it doesn't surprise me that happened.

Doc Holliday

lol Wally World=Walmart

Look on the bright side, they could have just as easily not called and taken the oil and filter for themselves. Good thing they were honest.

Doc Holliday

this is true

Q1911

thats your problem right there

change by your own hands, or at least be there

There is no need to. It wont effect a thing

At least they still put motor oil in. My dad had his brand new F-250 at the Ford dealership and they put transmission fluid in the engine, needless to say the engine didn't last long, and he was able to get a brand new F-250 TD for about half of the MSRP.
