An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

I drive very little so I only need to change it annually. 2100 miles in a year.

While I was under there, I shot some rust converter on the worst spots. Just holding back the inevitable, though.

I know it’s a 20-30 min job. But I went at a relaxing pace. It took about an hour, maybe and hour and a half.

Couldn’t find what was squeaky in the front suspension, though.

Nice. I wish I had a space to do that kind of thing. I don't think I'd feel comfortable doing much more than changing a tire while parked on a semi-busy street

Doing a job at a leisurely pace and just enjoying the process is a wonderful thing.

When I read the title, my first thought was: "Must have gotten it out via liposuction, but how does the replacement go in?"

Then the obvious hit me - just drink the new oil.

Haha...yes fair enough. I changed the truck's oil.

But I went at a relaxing pace.

I have a friend with a hall/barn type of thing who allows me to do it there. It's fun. He smokes joints and talks about all his cars while I do my thing. I learned not to let him touch my car or explain things to me right after he smoked one.

But I have a tougher problem right now - CO emissions are too high. Need more than a barn.
