For those who just say wear gloves or go commando you still have to wipe the oil off and wash your hands if you don't wear gloves.

I say save your shop towels.

Here ten minutes on how to cut up t-shirts.

Helpful hint.
Some things absorb better than others.
Avoid synthetic fabrics. And your wife's stuff.
(Unless she says so.)

Drain plugs were never a problem on my own cars. The thing I remember on these Mopars is the location of the oil filter. Oil runs all over the frame when unscrewing it.

This oil filter funnel is for Harleys. I'm going to make one out of a gallon jug when I change mine the next time.
View attachment 411163

Made one out of a half gallon jug many many years ago, works like a charm, not a drop on the K member.
As far as the drain plug goes I never had a problem, I don't get the engine up to full operating temp, just warm and pull the plug, never wore gloves either.
A little oil never hurt anybody.

For rags, I get the bag of white cotton ones at Lowes, in the paint section!

I cut the sleeves off of old t shirts to use as a " do rag" when im welding or using a face shield when grinding...

What was this thread originally about? ;^)

I think it was, "If food doesn't stick to Teflon, what makes Teflon stick to the pan?"

themechanic · Apr 7, 2017

So, do you pour the old oil on your weeds growing along the fence line?

69 GTX · Apr 7, 2017

no in the drive way to keep down the dust :confederateflag:

I've got so many cloths I'll never wear that rags aren't a problem.
That's what comes from being old, a horder and only needing uniforms for work.
I'll die with piles of all cotton things I've never worn.
I only wear cotton.
Plus by son is always giving me his hand me downs.
He has to dress for success.
Me, not so much.

It doesn't.
It comes off and you eat it.
I only cook with stainless pans and used motor oil.
No, I mean olive oil.

The ultimate in recycling - I mean, it came out of the ground in the first place right ?

I never changed the oil when the car was pistol hot; it's not like an emergency to drain the oil. Have used gloves sometimes. my dad who made it to 94 used to say he washed his hands in turpentine with a grit in his mouth so wasn't impressed with all the safety hoopla. not sure I ever thought it was a good idea; but as I worked in a shop 35 years ago with hands filthy all the time with grease, rust inhibitors, tapping fluid, then cleaning parts with mineral spirits the company didn't have any gloves...gee all of a sudden I feel funny...I got to sign off...

But now that I've been duly notified that you are the self appointed "Politically Correct Post Police" (PCPP for short, kinda like the CCCP) I'll be sure to check with...........no wait, I still don't give a rat's a**!

The post was supposed to be somewhat humorus by poking :poke:

a little fun at the "gadget fanatics" out there.

And from the looks of the "likes" & "disagrees" received on that post, you LOSE! 88% of respondents were in favor :thumbsup:

, and only 12% (you)

couldn't handle it.

Oh, and aimed in just "one" direction this time.

You should try using WD-40 to fry your food like @bobtile does...

It would be useful for someone that worked at a quick lube shop that did oil changes all day.

You don't need my approval, I just don't like to see people put down and rudeness. . Are you the type that builds themselves up by putting other people down ? And I am not in a contest, I don't give a flying f*** about what 88% opinions are. I appreciate the information about that tool and I will buy one if I can find it locally. Just what do you contribute that is helpful to other members? ..............................MO
