Here I am, under the car...sloooowly releasing the drain plug waiting for the oil to ooze out in a controllable state. Didn't happen. Ok, if it's coming out...the Fumoto valve is finally going in. Thought I'd be slick and have it ready in one hand while letting the other drop. Drop the drain plug, on point with the Fumoto...slick as a whistle. Except...it was the wrong size.
Chaos. Oil splashing everywhere, fumbling for the original drain plug, cursing, etc. 
Thanks again, guys.  |
Haha... noooooo!
I pictured you just peeling back the drain plug a little and immediately reinstalling it.
At the risk of sounding like a preachy Captain Obvious, don't try reusing the old stuff even though it's new. Not a good place to pinch pennies.
