What the fuck were you doing to crack a oil pan?

Its just an oil change, are these people too simple to operate a fucking door knob?

A more likely scenario would be if you torqued the shit out of your drain bolt and stripped the threads. Even if that happens just install a self tapping bolt and some high-temp thread sealer. N-not that I'm talking from experience or anything b-baka

Dealership or QL is much more likely to fuck up your car than you are.

>torqued the shit out of your drain bolt
Why in the fuck would anybody do this though, unless they were some dealership monkey with an impact wrench.

anyway
>they checked my oil, said it's very dirty
>checked, and sure enough, it is

Why is this? It was only a couple weeks after changing it.

No if you over torque your plug or new filter then all the shit that comes from it you deserve and then some.

The more likely event is people who honestly over blow doing their own maintenace are so god damn neet that if they make eye contact with their neighbors lawn gnome, thats enough social anxity for them to instantly shit their pants.

>>15813348
You're supposed to change the filter too.

>>15813273
you know there are actually oil techs out there that use the strap wrench to tighten the oil filter on, don't dip their finger in a bottle of fresh oil and lube up that filter gasket, and torque the fuck out of your oil drain bolt

It can be some independent shop too. All you need to do is be an impolite customer. If the tech is having a bad day, he then takes out his stress at your impolite attitude against you. He overtightens the plug so that somewhere in the next two or three oil changes, you will have to replace the oil pan due to thread stripping.

Or the employees could just be having a LOL day and strip the threads for the heck of it. There are people like that too. In the road testing after servicing, I saw (and heard) one of the dealer lot boys driving the car out for the road test. He redlined the engine since I heard it roar far too loud. He didn't care as long as he got his kicks.

>Why is this? It was only a couple weeks after changing it.

Conventional oil gets dirty fast due to oxidation of the smaller short chain molecules in it. Full synthetic oil doesn't get dark as fast due to fairly homogeneous long chain molecules.

And thats why the only reason you should need to go to a dealership service dept. is if you have to pick up that one part that you just can not get anywhere else.

And you should never find the need to take your vehicle into anywhere for any kind of service.

>>15813431
>dealer lot boys
yup

>>15813421
Actually, no, I haven't.
