About 20 years ago, I offered to change the oil in my girlfriends Toyota. She was impressed and grateful, so I got the oil and filter (the store was a couple miles away), drove it up on the ramps, got my trusty Craftsman wrench, and removed the drain plug.
My first thought of how thankful she would be rapidly changed when I awoke to the fact that the oil was a redish color. Yup, I was draining the transmission instead of the engine oil.
I walked to the store and back to get some ATF fluid, then changed the (correct) oil, and returned the car. She was kinda upset that it had taken so long which cost me any brownie points I could have gained by my working on her car.
The car survived, the woman became my wife and later ex-wife - and looking back, that ordeal should have been a lesson for me (with regard to the person, the car, and my mechanical abilities).
