Ahhhhh, hmmmmm. Yes.
I have seen people who thought they were home mechanics who (i) topped up the radiator with oil after draining the old engine oil. Motor ran for about 5kms. Then stopped. terminally. (ii) Another who thought the engine was running 'a bit hot', so called at a servo and filled it with water. Via the cap on top of the rocker cover. Took quite a bit to fill apparently, and yes, it hydraulic locked after about 100m. Again, terminally.

When i was on the tools we had an apprentice change engine oil by draining front diff and tipping 5 litres of oil in engine another one was told to put oil in engine which he did byfilling engine up to top of rocker cover then there was the mechanic that forgot to put the sump plug in and filled up with oil jumped in car and drove streight out the doo and down the road for a road test it happens everywhere

HAHAHAH I did a defensive driving course and they told us that everyone leaves the handbrake on first time you take off, I thought to myself pffft I won't do that... Sure enough... I did

Funniest thing I've seen was when I was an AJ.

One of the frontbums (AJ chick) was complaing that the Landrover would only take about two litres of diesel and then overflow.

Sounded strange, so we asked her to show us.

Dumb blonde was pumping the diesel into the top of the rocker cover oil fill cap!...

Quick oil change.....

I must admit that I have been too lazy to crawl under the Jeep yet and was just looking for the easy way out. Have changed oil before on a car so don't worry! Dealers are just so damn expensive to let them do it. Do you guys think it is necessary to change the oil at 10 000km if it only needs servicing at 20 000km? Just trying to be good to my baby!
