it always sounds better when you hear of it happening to someone else.

we've all got out from under a ramp washed in diff oil and even after baths and showers still smell of it for days

TULL:
shouldnt need to drain it, it should flow on its own, your landie has a fault :lol:

NeilWilson:
The first time I ever changed the oil on my first car, Cortina GLX, many years ago,  I managed to get an axle stand in the way so I could not get the drain pan under the oil flow.  It looked like some supertanker accident had happened down our road.  I was out there with a bottle of fairy liquid & a brush & loads of newspapers trying to clear it all up before my parents got home.  Cheers.

I bet you're glad you hadn't warmed it up first.

I decided to check my transfer box level on the way back from Wales.
Don't ask. I was having problems and losing oil and I'd only remembered that it needed to be checked when I'd got half way home.

It was HOT!!!!!!!!
And it had expanded or didn't need topping up.
I've never moved my hand away so fast.

Thought I'd check the oil level in the rear transfer box on the 101, at one of the shows, as it had been losing quite a bit of oil.

Plug comes out, drops on the floor, oil pours out all over my shoulder.  Evidently it had been overfilled  :x

Get the finger in the dyke (so to speak), jockey the plug around with spare hand, get it in, tighten it up.

Then find the bloody washer on the grass underneath it...  So had to take the plug out again, get sprayed with oil again, get the washer on the plug, plug back in, etc!
