Oil Change Frustration!

It was Friday night and I decided to change my oil around 10PM. Usually takes me about 15-20 minutes from start to finish. Everything was going according to plan until I fired up the engine and 5 quarts of brand new Royal Purple oil blasted onto my garage floor. I didn't forget to put in the plug or oil filter so my immediate thought was a defective oil filter. After spending a hour mopping up the oil and scrubbing the floor I pulled the filter back off for inspection. Everything looked fine until I realized the damn rubber gasket from the original filter was stuck to the engine block (something I always check except this time). Well I fixed that problem and 2 hours later I was finally done. I had to buy more oil the next day.

Cost of oil change:
10 quarts Royal Purple = $60
1 Oil Filter = $6
3 Beach Towels (to soak up oil) = $15
Total = $81

shit happens...

Expensive lesson learned.

Been there done that with synthetic.

I got about 3 sentences in and knew it already! That sucks man, but its a lesson learned the hard way.
