You might as well be reminding me "right tighty lefty loosy"... You've never made a mistake when following the golden rule? The only tool i've lost in 2 years is a single bit for my screw driver.

Not saying I've never gotten into a job and not had the right tool. But I have always had the obvious ones I knew I would need ready and available.

How do you start changing oil without an catch pan?

The only tool I've lost in the last 30 years was a craftsman 9/16 wrench I was stupid enough to let someone borrow

any auto dealership or oil change place will take it. I think they are required to actually.

And NTS... that 10 min of idle time is a good time to find your shit... just trying to help
