Five Subaru DIY Oil Change Tips; Free: Long Oil Funnels, Anti-Splash Oil Pan & Useful Oil Filter Wrench

Featured Replies

For some cars, the oil port is much lower thus a short oil funnel may not work well especially for 5-quart jug. So not only this will save you money but also it is a better funnel.

 

 

 

If you're annoyed by these, follow the "youtube" link and leave appropriate feedback for them, because it's pretty certain they're not reading our replies here.

Does that help their views?  I assume they’ll edit or turn comments off and still get the click/view. Not interested in helping this asinine spam licker.

I'll just report the threads as spam, no need to give the OP more hits...

I just left the first negative comment, so they weren't turned off as of an hour ago.  I thought about the view count, and am hoping that when you leave them a "thumbs down" (which they can't edit, afaIk) the visit doesn't add to their (paying) count.  And if they have to edit the comments, it increases their workload.  So in balance I think it's worth a try.

If the video plays for 10 seconds, it's a "view", and even a thumbs down is interaction, so is part of the monetizing algorithm. Best to not click it.

ya'll need to just stop responding to this crap, dont click on the video, just flippin ignore it and let it go away.

Absolutely NOT. the best way to deal with this is to completely ignore it. Don't follow the link, dont view the embedded video, dont do anything but ignore it.

 

and to the OP - GD said it best, so I second his statement.

Fair enough.  Even better would be for the gods to just delete the post asap.

Not yet.

I'm working on the engineering drawings to input into SOLIDWORKS to recreate the anti-splash oil drain pan.

Imma gonna be rich!

YouTube doesn't care if you thumb down the video - it still counts as views for them. YouTube calls it "engagement" and rewards the YouTuber for negative and positive engagement the same way.

GD when you going to have a YouTube channel?

Nah, just kill off this member from the board. That’ll take out the threads they started like his first one which also needs to go:

I have considered it..... I have many hobbies that are not Subaru related though and that occupies a LOT of my time. I have three main vehicle modification/restoration projects in progress, I build/restore arcades, collect/build/restore retro computers, and I have two houses to maintain and a business that RUNS ME about 9 days out of the week. When I'm not organizing tax documents that is.

I used to repair pinball machines and jukeboxes.

My first computer was a Timex Sinclair T1000. Google it. I gave it to one of my nephews when I got an 8086.

I still have a 5X86 that will boot Windows 3.11 (16 bit) or 95 second edition (32 bit). I also have on old Xerox pc that uses 8 inch floppy disks with a dot matrix printer. My 8086 and 8088's are gone. If the disks are still readable, I have IBM DOS and OS/2 on floppy disks. I also have Microsoft DOS and Windows 2, 3 and 3.11 install disks and a copy of 1.
