[Healeys] Oil change and Radiator Flush

[BJ8Healeys]

Yes, Michael, it was a wonderful trip that I'll always remember.  Missed you on the one to San Diego in 2008.  That oil change was done in Durango, Colorado at "Jiffy" Lube.  Only took an hour and a half because everyone ahead of me was opting for "the works".

Steve--

 

I clearly remember our stopping in Ely and your doing this--cannot recall if I changed my oil but do remember that I cleaned what passed for an air filter in the CAB.  That was a great trip.

I have always done oil changes and lubrications of all my cars myself, but during my drive to Lake Tahoe for Open Roads 2002, I decided my BJ8 needed an oil change in Ely, Nevada so I stopped at a service station.  I had to stop the guy several times from putting the drain plug back in while the oil was still running out.  I think I'll just keep on doing the job myself until I can't pick myself up off the floor afterwards.

Seems bass-ackwards to me.

bs


ps. Professional shops and technicians never screw up?
