Oil spilled while filling up.
 

:shakes head: Fail for me. So yesterday when i got home after work, around midnight, i decided to check my oil level. It was just above the minimum. I had an extra quart left of royal purple, so I decided to put about half a quart in.

So i start pouring in my dimly lit garage. Im like its going in smooth. Then I second guess myself because it was hard to tell and as soon as i 'corrected' the flow it didnt pout into the whole. I didnt think I spilled much. So I just cut half an empty bottle of eatter and used that as my funnel. I went to bed and didnt think about it. So today when I went to work, when I was stopped I smelled burning oil...ahhhhh.

Anyway, when I went home I took a look at it and there isnt very much oil, anywhere. My question is...Will it take long for the rest to burn off? The rest of the oil is pretty hard to get to, and it doesn't look like much.

Is it worth getting the engine bay steam cleaned?

A little bit of oil should burn off.

The only place oil will "burn off" is if it landed on the exhaust manifold.

All other oil will be there forever and will slowly turn to a dirty, grimy, greasy film. Unless you clean it with a rag.

Invest a dollar in a funnel! :tup:

Then wipe it down with a rag. :shakes head:

And you know a lot about funnels, seeing as how you need one to keep it off the toilet seat. Living with you must be a pain! :icon18:

And geez, next time I piss before you I'll wipe the seat before you sit down :stirthepot:

Just don't leave any streaks.

ROFL :icon17:

7-LED flashlight in rear glovebox; it can be a lifesaver, dude!

take the undershield off and spray brake clean where the oil is. just make sure to catch the oil in a pan or something. and try not to breath the brake clean spray either.

:iagree:

Yeah, the funnel would definitely help.

So you guys are saying we should be using funnels when we pour oil in the dark at midnight?

And using the restroom if you don't have hose control, yes.

Should have topped up with Amsoil. Apparently it doesn't spill in the dark.
