...when I changed the oil in my Grandfather's 41 Chevy pickup. He had several weights of oil to choose from and I chose the 10W-40 (detergent)....I was wrong.
Got caught before I started the truck and had to change it again with straight 30 non-detergent. Not only did I get some practice at changing oil that day, I also got on earful about how "those modern oils loosen up years of build-up and trash an engine"....for the rest of the day.
I guess I should have known that at 14.
