You think a car could go 3,800 miles (including 2 trips to CA) w/a loose drain plug w/o it falling - PhoenixGTS 2008-10-10 14:50:25 (108 views)

Absolutely, I see this happen ALL the time. I am a tech. - eMKay (Game On!) 2008-10-10 14:52:16 (19 views)

why would you drive with a loose drain plug? you would have a serious oil leak... - Kenny 2008-10-10 14:52:03 (19 views)

Supposedly 'cause you think the oil on your garage floor is from your GF's car. - PhoenixGTS 2008-10-10 14:55:02 (18 views)

Well then crawl under there and check it, you would be surprised how often it happens... - eMKay (Game On!) 2008-10-10 14:57:15 (34 views)

I see that too, but not nearly as often. Both makes I work on use gaskets, so that helps prevent it. - eMKay (Game On!) 2008-10-10 15:00:43 (15 views)
