I do dumb stuff sometimes....of course.

A couple of weeks ago I started to prepare the TR3A for an oil change.

Today, I carefully replaced the filter and filter body.

Thinking I had already drained the pan, I poured 6 quarts of oil in the engine
and checked the dipstick.

Nope, that cant be right. The oil is dirty looking and reads high on the
dipstick.

I did something like this about 40 years ago with a Bugeye Sprite.

Only this time I drained the oil and forgot to replace the drain plug.

It took about  four quart pour for that brand new oil to spread out to my
shoes.

I doubt if  BRITISH PETROLEUM  would be very excited about my problems.
