Classic case of too many cooks in the kitchen.

Son came over to do an oil change on his 2006 Cooper S.

I was just there to help his dyslexic ass with the oil filter cartridge. In the past he has tightened it instead of loosening it. I got it off and jumped away for him to finish the car.

We were both working on it at the same time, a friend stopped by and I stopped working on the Mini. He took over, he knows what to do.

I was up in my garage chatting when my son turns to me and asks, how many quarts does this take? I thought I would see a dipstick reading at 4.5 quarts?

I start to walk over when I see his error.

4.5 quarts of Mobile 1 are running down the driveway behind the car..

He forgot to put in the drain plug. He did remember to do the oil filter, he blamed me and said he thought I put it in.

I blamed too many hands on the car for a simple task. Took a bit of pressure washing to clean that mess up.
