My car was idling like crap the other day so I figured since I just got it, it may have been awhile since anyone changed the oil out. I decided to go ahead and change the oil. I used Mobile 1 synthentic oil like I was reccomended on here. Anyways, I drain out the oil and noticed it was extremely dark and even after 10 minutes of draining, it was still coming out. I decided to go ahead and flush it to make sure all the bad stuff got out. I hooked up the hose, ran water through the engine, started it up and was waiting for the water to come out clean (The engine never went above idle so I was told this would be ok). Anyways, About 3 minutes into this, then engine starts shaking and shuts off. I figured it was all cleaned out so I plugged it up, added the oil and figured I was ready to go. WRONG! The car won't freaking start now. This car has been nothing but trouble for me, I think I am done with it.

That thread is from 2007. The guy later claims it was a joke.

I've seen that one as well elsewhere. But one true story, I had a 1998 GSX come in when I was fixing them in my garage around 2000 or so. They wanted me to change the oil and fix a few things. I drained the oil and about 12 quarts came out. I asked the owner's boyfriend why there was so much oil in there and he said they thought they had to add a quart every week, so he did and didn't bother to drain any. Oops. The car only had like 40k miles too, luckily it didn't do any damage.

well, **everyone** knows that you have to add dishwasher soap before you run the hose into the engine.......
