Hi Jimmy,
In the category of things to avoid-can't make all the mistakes- as
silly as they may sound, be sure to put the oil filler cap back on
after replacing the oil. Your first clue will be, 'Why is there a
fine oil mist on my right sleeve, leg.'
At least, that is what I heard. or was it, thats what I felt....(2
years ago)
revmaaatin. yeah, quit smirking, some of you have done the same
thing....just glad I did a leak check on the drain plug, AND a spray
check on the filler cap. Yep. It sprays.
