BorniteIdentity Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 It does seem an unnecessarily large amount. The 4 cylinder 3sfe in my Toyota takes 3.9 which is lovely; 2x 2 litre Castrol which are often £6 at Tesco and you’ve still got a splash left for top up. 6 litres you say?

Junkman Posted September 23, 2018 Author Share Posted September 23, 2018 What he said. What happened? I cancelled the deal. You did fill the correct stuff, did you? The fuck I filled in that fucking thing. This is going to be so fucking procrastinated like fuck else ever was. Sorry. How many litres was that again? Six.Fucking.Litres. How big is the fucking sump on this twat? Fucksakes. That motherless sump is so motherfucking big it defies any fucking belief. yes oui si and richardthestag 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNWeigh Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Only 6 litres of £5 a gallon Netto's multigrade ? Luxury!Try 8.5 litres of Fully Synthetic Low Ash special needs bollocks in a modern Merc 3.0 diesel. £300 for that and a couple of filters on MrsN's ML last week. And as for an Englishman changing the subtitles of a Swiss actor playing an Austrian speaking German about the travails of an Austrian changing the oil in a German car in England.That truly is more complex than a B*%*t deal. garethj, Junkman, Kringle and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skizzer Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 My helpful* suggestion is to put a brick in the sump, like you’re supposed to put in the cistern of your loo when there’s a water shortage (due to Climate Improvement). dome, BorniteIdentity, skattrd and 18 others 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artdjones Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Just be glad you don't have a Sprinter 11.They take about 12 litres including filter.I once got in to a row with a horrible little creep who brought his car in for service where I worked.He kept the local pub,and ran an old Zafira diesel that took about 8 litres of oil.He didn't come back to pay for five months and when he received the bill started complaining that he'd been charged €45 for oil,as he could buy a gallon of oil for €25.My response to him made my boss fear that violence was about to start.

Felly Magic Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 The poor bloke is going to have a coronary at this rate, drain out all the oil, fill it with Aldi's finest value multigrade, and do what Stan Woods would have done, it might release some of that anger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
