My kid went for the oil change and customary check of all fluids. Left radiator overflow bottle cap loose and the car overheated so I had to service and bleed out all the air in system. Some times its just better to do it yourself so you know its done right I guess. TedsofBeverlyHills 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

It's basically them cleaning the injectors & the top end of the engine; not really flushing it.

Last time I got new tires the tech broke 2 studs off. Was too close to quitting time, was told to return the next day in the morning. On the way home 6 more studs broke off. Decided to fix myself, did not want them touching my truck anymore. Returned the next day and told them what happened, said that they were embarrassed. Refunded money for parts and labor and got mounting, balancing and rotations for life, means nothing because I won’t be returning. There are lots of shortages from the pandemic, except for morons.

The engine oil was thick & gunky. I flushed the engine with automatic transmission fluid, then took the top of the engine down to the cylinder head gasket; soaking all the components (pushrods, rocker arms, etc.) with solvent & cleaning them nice & shiny. Reassembled according to my trusty Hanes or Chilton; torqued to spec, yada yada. Drove it to the gas station to proudly fill up with gas & go for a fun day of cruising the country back roads. As I arrived at the pump, the oil dumped & an impressive cloud of smoke issued forth, flowing along the ceiling of the pump canopy, curling up & along its edges; taking my day's aspirations with it. Unbeknownst to me, the previous owner had used 5W20 because the oil pan gasket & other seals were shot. Learned several lessons that day. =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
