Just got done changing the oil. I bought a case of Mobil1 Synthetic from one of the "big" auto parts store chains.

Everything was fine and dandy except when I openned one of the bottles, I noticed the oil in it was dark as tar.

Then I realized that the seal had been broken, and it was the same for each and every one of the other bottles as well. They were all full of (presumably) used oil. The box had been hot-glued shut again.

The store let me exchange it no problems since I go there quite often and they know me, but I told them that they need to be careful when accepting returns on cases of oil. Sounds like someone got a free oil change.

why didn't i think of that

8/7/2005 5:18:25 PM

ha. Sucks for you (and sucks more for someone who wasn't paying attention), but very clever...

8/7/2005 5:40:50 PM

doesn't suck for me. I looked at the shit before it went into my engine.

8/7/2005 5:42:02 PM

Yes, I realized that, I was just trying to say that it was unfortunate you had to waste your time with it...

oh, nevermind.

HAHA

holy shit. im not going to say weather ive done that before. but you gotta make sure that seal doesnt break when you open the cap of oil.

btw autozone has 5 quarts of mobil 1 synthetic, plus a filter for like $30 or so.

ngr oil

8/7/2005 11:35:31 PM

the trick is to take a small screwdriver and pry up on the seal as you open it, but mobil 1 seals come off easy, so they have a foil seal inside the cap too

I always get mobil 1 at walmart in the 5 qt jugs for $18, purolator filter at autozone is usually ~$4

8/8/2005 12:46:26 PM

That's funny. Be glad you noticed.

8/8/2005 12:48:19 PM

Sounds like quite a few here have done that

asshats

8/8/2005 5:24:02 PM

at a lot of places, you have to leave your name and address and shit to return stuff, i couldnt figure out a way to buy an identical tv at walmart and throw my broke ass one in there and bring it back, unless i bought a tv, brought back the broke one, and get the replaced, but then i'm still out 100 bucks and i dont need two tvs

when i've returned broken stuff i just make up an address and phone number
