I don't go to those places for oil changes. But the stuff they screw up on can happen at the better places too. Years ago I took my 62 Rambler to a local gas station for an oil change. The guy there had been doing oil changes for many years and knew what to do and what not to do. He drained the oil from the Rambler, started screwing in the plug and the bell rang. A car had pulled up to the pumps so he left to go pump gas. Came back from pumping gas, lowered the Rambler back down, filled it up with oil and sent me on my way. Did you notice I didn't mention anything about him TIGHTENING the plug after he came back? A few days later when Marilyn and I were on our way to church in the Rambler the plug fell out and the oil light came on so I shut it off right away and coasted to a stop. No damage done.
Dad tells the story about the service station attendent who drained the oil out of a customers car for an oil change and then went out to pump gas. This was back in the days when they actually had to hand pump the gas so this was probably back in the twenties or thirties. While he was pumping, the oil change customer got in his car and drove away with the oil drained out, making it to the next town ten miles away. I can't believe that one, but it's a good story. Jim

I remember when I was a kid my dad sometimes would tuck my brother and I in at night and we would ask him questions about his childhood on the farm. To this day, it's some of the best stories I've ever heard. And now, I'm so glad that I asked those questions, and if I were a little smarter i
