My dads almost new 1959 88 Olds 2dr needed a oil change and he wanted me to change it about 1961.
This is the first time I changed any oil........ so i slithered under the car and pulled the drain plug and drained the oil.
I put the plug back then started pouring the oil in the engines valve cover opening.
i got about 4 quarts in and if i remember it right........ the oil started backing out of the valve opening.
I told dad that i could not get all the motor oil in.
he said he would check it later..... well... things got bad... without checking the oil he jumped into the car backed out of the driveway and as he went forward the car would not go forward.
apparently I drained the transmissions oil instead of the engine.
1959 Olds engine oil drain plugs were apposing 3-4 inches apart and i drained the transmission and not the engine.
needless to say things really got ugly.
finally he realized that he never showed me what to do...
that took off the heat!
