I had no idea that could happen.... fascinating

I didn't know you could use tar instead of oil...

The first car to ever be lubricated by Nutella

Wow
Nozza007
How did that car even make it to the garage? I'm assuming it broke and needed a tow.
alkynesof
That....that's amazing
Tomelino
So he used the gummi bears as lubricant?

Spider-Man 3?

I guarantee that engine needs to be rebuilt. No way did that thing avoided the self destruct function.

It's an old VW. It probably still runs

To the person that owns the car:
wynbns
In most of the US, this is only offered as vocational (non-college track) coursework. Nothing wrong with that, but it leaves a gap for sure.
SealandIsARealCountry
Car maintenance is nor part of the core education system

This is how Marmite is made
perlcat
There is no way in God's Green Earth that something made out of used motor oil could taste worse than Marmite.
VoidIncarnate
I like Vegemite, Marmite and Bovril.
perlcat
You like used yeast.
perlcat
Holy buckets; somebody needs a new engine.
HelloMyNameIsHuman
New engine? Nah think I'll just buy another car (people's logic nowadays)
Giordino
Nah let it run for a time and the oil will become more liquid than it is now.
AmateurLurker
Oh... oh god.
BoofBoofPass
so thats how you milk a car.
TurtBurglar
Try the milk, it's delicious.
SquirrelHaven
Did one once that wouldnt drain or fill! People.
yoshiioo
eventhough the oil is way to old... fuckin warm up the engine... there is no way to get all the oil out like thath...
TowerOfPow3r
Honestly they'd be better off pulling the pan and cleaning it than running that sludge another second
yoshiioo
you're right... but if they would have warmed up the engine (which u always do b4 oilchange) it wouldnt be THAT bad, still bad tho
GottaAddCooling
Throw 500ml of diesel in there first to loosen it up first
yoshiioo

I'm sorry but could someone explain what's going on here? Asking for me, not a friend
Zandros
Heat and dirt contamination, oil filters collect most of it but when neglected badly, it is like slowly putting flour in water. Clump of ick
TurtBurglar
Oil is so old that it has become a solid as opposed to a liquid.
Scubasteve0571
By the looks of the ice on the oil pan, I'm guessing it's also very cold.
StarryNightsInCanada
Sorry. I don't see ice...? Guy is wearing a t-shirt and you can see cars outside in the background
Scubasteve0571
Ooh yeah, sorry it's early still.

Surprisingly above 0° in michigan. Not very much, but still above 0°.

Yes, yes it was. That wind chill still gets me
OneHecaton
You should try -40 windchill

Oh, I have. I live in MN so I have been through it all
incorporeal5
It's like 33 in South Texas. We've pretty much cancelled everything.
leoswife746
Really?
incorporeal5
Yeah, except for the idiot driving championships, apparently.
incorporeal5
We've been having sleet the last few hours and nobody is prepared for how to drive in it.
Wastingbr549timedog
I had to use a screwdriver to tease the oil out of the drain hole once. The owners idea of maintenance was to fill gas tank.
ButterfaceTaintClown
There's your problem. Shouldn't fill your gas tank with oil.
tarataqa
oh, so wise!
becks0815
How many km/miles without a change?
SmittyTitties
All of them apparently. I know a guy with an impala who hasnt ever changed his oil. 7 years.
QuickINeedAName
Praise the machine gods how is that still moving? I was shitting breaks after 8k expecting the engine to rip apart.
QuickINeedAName
...bricks....not breaks.
HippoDidIt
Your typica Bmw owner!
PoopTransfer
Thats not a BMW tho...
QuickINeedAName
I took good maintenance of my bmer :( I'm just a shitty driver
Electrogourd
*looks up from under hood of bmw* yup, still fixing what the previous owner neglected. my 325 hasn't been terrible to work on.
HippoDidIt
Hey man, great cars reliable as fuck if maintained. You sound like a smart man unlike your cars prior owner lol!
kanybal
Honest question.. If I take my car to the garage for maintenance like every 2 years, I needn't worry about this, do I? :|
QuickINeedAName
Depends on a few factors. If you don't drive too much I'd say yearly. If you drive a helluva lot use the recommended mileage rather than 1/2
QuickINeedAName
Time to determine it. Most vehicles have dedicated online communities that can give you a good ballpark for how far you should drive 1.5/2
QuickINeedAName
Before an oil change
kanybal
Nah I really don't drive much, that's why I use time marks rather than mileage
QuickINeedAName
As far as that goes. Once a year would be more than enough then. Just learn what a dipstick is and how to use it.
QuickINeedAName
Could reveal a problem easily before it becomes a problem. Check that every few months or a major drive.
Favoritestoshowmybrotherandlogontopublicnetworkswith
Not this. But it's bad. Change your oils 3 or 4 times a year to keep your car in good shape. You can't change your oil too often.
ExTechOp
To do your oil + filter changes, you need the time, physical & technical ability, garage with a pit, and somewhere that'll accept used oil.
kanybal
Besides nowadays everything in our engines is covered in plastic, it's next to impossible to change it by yourself...
QuickINeedAName
While I wouldnt say go at it haphazardly, you make it sound far harder than required imo.
QuickINeedAName
The skill to perform an oil change isn't particularly high. As long as you don't half ass it. Instructions for nearly if not every 1/×
ExTechOp
If you are missing any of those, you have to pay someone to do it, and that can become expensive: that's a good definition of "too often".
Maniacxxl
Not changing it is far more expensive.
QuickINeedAName
I'd say that is twice too often. Unless if you drive literally nonstop
Favoritestoshowmybrotherandlogontopublicnetworkswith
I've been given the 3 to 4 times a year advise by three different people. All professional mechanics for more that 20 years. One for 40.
QuickINeedAName
I'm the only one not trying to keep your money either :P. Your money and piece of mind friend.
MaxamillionX72
You'd almost be afraid to flush that engine, every moving part would be worn past tolerance, only thing keeping it sealed is that thick oil.
IMakeAKillerMacAndCheese
Jesus. I have an 02 ford Ranger that's been in 2 accidents. Still running like a champ BECAUSE I TAKE CARE OF IT. Besides the accidents. Lol

I know a guy like that. He does cancer research for a living...
DrBirch
That's me
PizzaGoblin
Can you tell him to hurry up?
CaptainTurkeybreast
he put all this smart guy bricks in one basket
ThatIsMyPassword
I mean, if he's really into researching biology there's really no reason for him to give a shit how a car works. Completely different field.
QuickINeedAName
Travel is nearly critical in this day and age. It's not like he needs a ph.D in mechanics.
pizzabortionist
Was a mechanic up in Los Alamos, most PHDs per capita in the world there, worst car owners and drivers ever. Knowledge in, common sense out.
TheBestRussian
Am in medicine. Doctors and nurses are AWFUL at understanding cars and their maintenance.
thefunbatman
I wouldn't say that car maintenance is common sense. It has to be taught somewhere along the line as well.
ThatJerkYouKnow
Right? It might be practical, but it's not common or intuitive to the layman.
MaxamillionX72
I disagree... Common sense would tell you that 4000lbs of moving parts you rely on to stop and go when you want it to needs maintenance.
QuickINeedAName
Should be common knowledge to perform maintenance, even if it's not performed by it's owner
ExTechOp
Should be, but unless you have a friend/family member who can teach it to you, the only other option is training to become a professional.
Santiguis
But who would take the time from their busy life working to go out of their way to learn something specifically for one thing they own?
wynbns
Agreed. Also, most people who can afford to would rather just pay someone to do this.
pizzabortionist
Understood, I was the guy that they payed. But often they wouldn't notice something wrong until it was to late and they had big problems.
QuickINeedAName
I definetly don't have the patience for maintenance anymore
pizzabortionist
Not really, we put that little sticker in the window. At this date/mileage bring to us and we will take care of everything, but 1/2
pizzabortionist
brilliant minds always seem to slip on these details for 20,000 miles when it was out of oil and a rod went through the block... 2/2
