If you read any manual on changing your oil, it’s going to tell you to let that thing drip for 15 to 30 minutes to clear out as much of the old oil as possible. Meanwhile, your average oil change place is advertising that they will have you in and out of there in 15 minutes from start to finish. Which means there’s no way they’re letting it drip the minimum of 15 minutes.
The soil change was so overdue. There is a difference between the service interval and abuse interval of oil. I definitely got into the abuse range on this occasion. I just didn’t have the money for the oil and the filter.
And while you’re taking care of your own oil change. Make sure to check your brake fluid engine coolant and washer fluid and top them off as necessary.


Yeah, but they got quite a dose. Five goats shared a whole bucket of nasty old oil that had been drained from a tractor. They got way more oil than some chickens would get from pecking at stains on a driveway.
That said, they’re goats. Goats have some magical ability to eat absolutely anything and be just fine. Chickens might not be so resilient. I know when I had chickens, they sometimes seemed to die if you just looked at them funny.
