EPIC oil change fail, and I mean Epic!

So we send out oil changes at work, just easier and cleaner that was. We try to keep our showroom clean like you can eat off the floors. Well the place we use didn't take of the rug gasket off the old filter and it blew off right as our lot guy was pulling in.

WHAT A MESS!!!!!!

Not sure why my video didn't post correctly

Who did the work?

Not really going to say, they are going to have to hire someone to come out and clean our parking lot and street.

YouTube shorts don't post like the full videos.


PS, the video below yours was much better. Sorry but.....

The video posted ok for me.

That is a mess. How much oil did this thing hold? You going to have to call the EPA lol

Oopsy daisy

Did they actually change the oil? Looks dirty is what I ask

What a mess! You sure they changed it? That's some dirty looking oil!

I watched it, did the engine blow up?

is that supposed to be right after an oil change?

got kitty litter? (mudshark may be a good source if not)

Better get some kitty litter out there quick

Changing oil 101.

Diesel oil is instantly dark as night. It had ran 5 min maybe, and 2 miles max.

Will be interesting to see if they follow thru with the cleanup.

Engine damage still possible ?

The way to post YouTube shorts…for the olds and nearly olds.

Save the “short” video as a favorite on your YouTube account page.

Then, embed it from your favorites.

please tell me that is not from a ford 6.7.


puhhleeeeeeeezzz!

Are you sure that wasn't from Beer Money's Colonoscopy prep thread???.. Dan

Ha. A+

That’s what I was gonna say. Looks like you got double “F-ed”. That stuff is blacker than coal.

If you aren't deleted, they all turn black immediately.

Deleted, they stay new oil color much, much longer. The EGR soot is an awful thing for trying to have a clean running engine.

What a mess! Did you check the oil level before driving it out?

What a mess , a little oil goes a long way on a clean floor . I worked in machine shop , i seen some good spills

It has been almost a week since oil change in my 6.7 and it is much clearer than that when I checked it.

Toyota dealer changed mine during free changes on Tacoma. Tacoma 4.0s have a top mount filter. Makes changing the filter real easy but you have to put something under the little pan that has a hole in it. Dealership tech decided it was easier to just put a rag on the skid plate. I got home and oil is dripping on my driveway. I thought there was a leak. I get in the truck and go back to the dealer. They said no problem it is just an oily rag that was left on your skid plate. I said no problem? I now have oil all over the skid plate and on my driveway.

Nah, a Duramax.

That's why it was so black. A diesel does it every time.

rug gasket?

the filters I use have a rubber gasket attached to them, and so does the old one taken off

Only if your truck has an egr delete.

I have made that mistake once. Took the old filter off. The old gasket was stuck on the filter adapter. Put a new filter on which meant 2 of those gaskets were stacked. Started the engine up and and oil was spilling all over the floor. I stopped the engine and re did the filter and and oil change. I certainly didn't drive it anyway like that video. Probably a mistake many make when they start changing oil but don't admit to.

thank you

I have heard of that seal getting stuck there. When I do my own oil I always clean that area so I can check and see that there isn't anything there.

Yep, basically what happened.

The oil change place is making everything right with the vehicle, and the clean up.

My guess is that they would've taken care of it without the immediate "Before I get my legal counsel involved" line.

That wasn't me, that was my mechanic. He was pissed, initially they hung up on him when he told them what happened.

Say what

Anyone would be hot if 3 gallons of black oil just got poured all over your clean shiny floors I think. He ended up driving back up there. It's all good. Still Epic oil change gone bad.

Wife disregarded me and took her car to a Walmart for an oil change once. Called (and woke me up) on her way home and asked how much oil it was supposed to take. I told her five quarts and she said "They charged me for four." I told her go back and check the oil, and have them correct it. Next morning I get home from work and there's a large puddle of oil under her car. None showing on the dipstick. I changed clothes and crawled underneath; the oil drain plug was covered with blue goop. I called Walmart service manager and he says they put that on the drain plug on every oil change. Says the oil ain't coming from the drain plug; wife musta hit something and busted the oilpan on the way home. I call him out and he says, "Bring it in." I told him no, he needed to come here. So he comes to the house, crawls underneath, and admits the leak is coming from the drain plug. There was about a quart and a half left in the oil pan; I drained it into a bottle. It looked like black paint. A year later it still looked like black paint. Since they obviously removed the drain plug, where did they get the black oil that they put back in the engine?

Fast forward several years. Once again, she took her car to Walmart for an oil change. I worked nights and "she didn't want to bother me while I was sleeping." Her car was an '89 MR-2; if you don't know where the air filter is you'll never find it. Sure enough, they charged her for an air filter, but the one in the car wasn't new. We went to Walmart, got the "technician" who had performed the work, and asked him to show us the new air filter. Naturally, he had no clue where the air filter he had changed the day before was located in the vehicle. Musta had amnesia..........

Never, ever, under any circumstances, trust the kindergarten dropouts at Walmart to change your oil.

No it does not..but only driven 500 or so miles. Has less than 10k total miles

At an oil change place in Cedar Hill that was bought out by a bigger company,
my wife when she was young and dumb let them talk her into flushing the transmission.
They flushed the trans then filled it with oil.
At the garage the mechanic told us what happened.
The oil change place told us basically to prove it.
This was before widespread cameras and we never got compensation or an admittance of guilt.

Changed the oil on an F150 once. Backed out of the driveway and saw a line of oil. Looked under the truck and saw oil leaking out of the filter. Looked at the old one and did not see the gasket. You will only do that once before always making sure the gasket is still on the old filter. The ONLY advantage to a cartridge filter.
