Nancy I change my oil on my 97 f250 and even though it seems high you got by pretty good. I run the front wheels up on a couple of boards in the driveway so a five gallon bucket will slide under the oil pan. I get a 7/8 inch wrench and loosen the drain plug. It is hot and I slowly screw it out but as it comes out I drop it in the bucket and oil runs all over my arm. Let the oil drain while I try to find the filter wrench. Next I slide the bucket under the oil filter and begin to screw it off. Oil runs down the side of the filter and as it comes loose it slides out of my hand and falls into the bucket splashing oil all over me and my glasses. Now I have to find the drain plug that fell into the bucket earlier and get oil all over me again. I open a gallon of Rotella oil and fill the new filter up and install it almost dropping it. I tighten it up and drag the bucket from under the truck. The bucket catches on something and splashes out on me again. I put the oil plug in and tighten it up and crawl from under the truck with oil all over me and in my hair. Next I get a cinder block and place in front of the truck to stand on because I am too short to stand on the ground and pour the oil in. I start pouring the oil in out of a gallon jug being real careful not to let it spill on top of the engine. When I get to the last gallon I lean a little too hard on the cinder block and it turns over causing me to pour oil all over the engine. After all this I still have to change the fuel filter and air cleaner element. I have oil all over me, the truck, and driveway. I have spent over $105.00 and I am dirty and have to dispose of the oil and filters. DH

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
