Changin' My Earl

So last night I picked up a few quarts of Mobil 1 Synthetic 10W30, some Marvel Mystery Oil, and a timing belt for my car.

Got home and asked #2 if he wanted to help me change the oil in my car. Immediate affirmative response.

Yay! I must be doing something right!

Took the standard 1/2 hour or so, and that was with commentary and talking to the next door neighbor. #2 was more interested in comparing the smells of the oils and seeing their relative colors than being under the hot engine, but still. My son is starting to WANT to help me work on my cars! Woohoo!

Yes, before you ask, I did change the filter, with a Purolator Pure One that I had on hand already. The interval was just a hair over 6,000 miles.
