Getting old.....sigh 1 Saabers Like This Post! Posted by MI-Roger [Email] (#882) [Profile/Gallery] (more from MI-Roger) on Mon, 27 Mar 2017 02:45:14 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
So I changed the oil in the 9-5 yesterday morning and installed the summer wheels and tires in the afternoon. Even with electric impact and hydraulic jack I was grunting and breathing like an out of shape old man by the time I was done with the tires. The worst part is retrieving the tires from my backyard shed then storing the removed tires there.
I wake up in the middle of the night and can't remember if I fully tightened the drain plug at conclusion of the oil change. (The wind suddenly gusted and was blowing the pencil lead thin rivulet of old oil out of my drain pan leaving me scrambling to fit the plug with its new copper washer.)
So at 5:15 this morning I was under the car in the driveway with a headlamp and 13mm wrench verifying tightness of the plug. All was good - except for my memory.
