And 102 shop rags 😆
More like a whole pallet load of brake cleaner

When you find coolant in your oil, simply add oil to your coolant. It will work itself out.
To anyone reading this comment and doesn’t realize it’s sarcasm please don’t do this ok? Ok! Thanks!
@@geniuswithacapitalk I was boutta say I windier how many people took this to heart
I no some people are stupid but I think I would have been funny if someone was dumb enough to try it
I like your thinkin'! 🤣🤣🤣
Keep adding oil till the yellow goes away. Take the hood off for cooling
Im always amazed that Ray can keep his cool even though things like this happen. Lol.
Thanks for your bravery in posting this video! I watched it last night and again today, read a boatload of the comments, but ran out of time. I've had to clean up more than a few messes, some that I made myself. Wow! That was epic!
My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard
And they're like "that engine's faaarked"
Damn right, that engine's farked
I can fix it, but I'd have to charge.
Lol
Ok, you win...
props
Excellent rewording👍🏻; terrible rap song!!!! Worst ever.
Lmfao
Pro Tip: when you're having a problem with any kind of oil draining too fast, a good idea is to put the drain plug back in real quick. 🤦♂️😂
The auto mustard will not be stopped!
I was thinking the same thing when it started to overfill lol
WAIT WHAT I AM TOO NERVOUS AND VERY SCARED SO I PANICKED AND JUST DIDNT KNOW WHAT TO DO SO I THREW THE PAN ON THE GROUND AND RAN OUT
I believe the plug was lost in the honey mustard sauce.
9/10 times it's lost in the tar put until further inspection
Would love to see your weekly brake clean budget. I thought I was crazy with the stuff.
I wish I could tell you that some dumb stuff like that has never happened to me, but I'd be lying. I feel your pain brother. I hope the rest of that day straightened out after that. 👍👍
I’m amazed that your shop doesn’t keep bags of kitty litter on hand for just this kind of crazy occasion. At the very least it would have helped clean up after the customer loses their lunch when they hear about a total engine loss.
I think they would've kept that or sawdust but since the stuff is so thick to the point it clogged his oil drain pan a bit, that stuff probably wouldn't have helped much lol
If ma baby went KaBAM on me, i'd prob cry I love my Blackbird (motorcycle) :( Good thing I learnt enough in the little time I spent in college for car mechanics (didn't finish the course) to actually repair and maintain some things with my bike, and if their is anything idk their is alway's CZcams hahaha
It's call, " The spill Kit ".
even as a retail worker I know the Kitty litter trick, and it's super handy when customers drop cooking or motor oils alike
I was just going to ask about the kitty litter
I work at a hardware store and this is how it looks when paint spills, all thick and growing the more you try to clean it.
We use cardboard to pick it up, scraping it, then and only then we use rags !
I feel your pain!!
I have had good experience using potato flour for tinting machine colorant spills. I service them.
We had a tile flooring in a store I used to work. I would usually wait a bit for a paint to dry and then just scrape it off the floor, same for the tinting colorant. For small spills, like few drops here and there, I would use wet wipes. They did wonders :)
@@Euro.Paleta Wet wipes come short if you dump 3 quarts of green tinting colorant at once. DAMHIK
I was thinking use a dustpan to scoop up as much as possible then rags. Also, I was like you need to bail excess oil out of the overfilled collector before you move it...and then he moved it.
Why not absorber granules? Is it too thick for that?
I remember my early days having something similar happening to our oil change rack. The tech didn't bother checking the oil level in the rack and caused a massive overflow. We had no choice but to shut down the oil change racks and clean everything
When I worked at a 4x4 truck lift center we used NAPA oil soaking clay that looks like cat litter. Does a amazing job on getting these types of messes cleaned up fast.
my cat liked this!
Never unscrew the drain plug when the dipping stick comes out like that.
Just close the hood and say: Das Auto ist kaputt, ein neues kaufen?
Ja, Das ist die richtige Antwort!
@@mikaelhg why....WHY did I follow the damn rabbit into the hole???
I agree. Had that been me, after pulling the dipstick, it would have been time to inform the customer.
He finally understood it is Das.
Bingo. Ray, so sorry.
I never thought I would see Ray give up and throw in the towel(s) on a repair
He did reject a repair cause of a severely rusted out frame...
Well.... The only "repair" here is a complete engine rebuild or engine swap.
Ya'll missed the joke lol.
Tee Hee hee!
Lol
I feel for you Ray, my little treasure thought he would help Dad by moving a large tin of paint he could hardly carry with a loose top .... paint from chin to toe all over his front and my shed floor !!
Not like you can dump him in a bath of thinners. Thanks for the vid Ray commiserations again from across the pond
That's a nice clean up job to keep the apprentice busy for the day
The fact that the coolant reservoir wasn’t that empty makes me think someone added coolant to the engine oil accidentally or just kept filling up the reservoir as it emptied.
That was my thought or they put a gallon of window wash fluid in the wrong hole !
There's a heck of a lot of volume of stuff there - way more than the normal oil/coolant capacity. It's like they just kept filling the car....
Great point. Time for a combustion gas test.
@@stevevarholy2011 When the oil-water concoction mixes it froths into a much larger volume thanks to all the air bubbles that get trapped, sort of like a nightmare egg white meringue.
💯 🏆
See, the problem is you applied too many reverse clicks to the oil plug.
🤣
😂
😂
🤣
🤣
Ray needs to invest in break cleaning companies with how much break cleaner he uses in these videos
A good way to cleanup, that we use at our shop is we use wood shavings that generally is sent off as waste material and just cover any spills with it then use a broom to move it around and let it absorb then we just scoop it all up with a shovel
I'm hoping there's going to be a part 2 to this. I'd like to see what the outcome was.
Exactly what I was thinking.
Part 2 should be an exciting video of towing it to the junkyard...
that is the end of the vw. No part 2. Un-economically viable to repair.
@@roberthackenberg2874 stuff the car, I want to see Ray cleaning up the mess as a part 2
@@victorsong8416 With huge luck it just needs new head gasket and fresh oil. But its a gamble I assume customer would not want.
Dear Ray, (my first comment to you after watching dozens of your videos)…
You’re obviously a well educated man. With some college and probably lots of reading, you’ve amassed a wide vocabulary, making your dialogue fresh and interesting though your numerous videos. This helps make your narration entertaining.
Your apparent knowledge of most common American cars is impressive. Your description and explanation of your work and the nature of your job is insightful. (I’ve learned a lot!)
Any negative comments made by your naysayers and critics are probably out of jealousy and envy. Most anyone with half a brain would appreciate the way you conscientiously approach car repair, balancing safety with reasonable cost. Your no nonsense work ethic is commendable and makes you an honorable man. I would insist that you work on my truck, even waiting in a cue for days just to have your expertise in my favor.
Your personality is very funny and entertaining. Your videos are a joy to watch. Please don’t change a thing!
My wife likes your videos too, but wants to see your face more….but I don’t want to hear her calling out your name in the bedroom…so, please limit your appearances.
Thanks!
You said a mouth full, I agree with everything you said. I've learned a lot from Ray as well. I also love the way he talks and takes care not to screw people over.
@@kevindowning4714 You agree that you don't want his wife yelling out "RAY!" in the bedroom also?
That's why I insist she yell "SARGE!"
Just something I learned when youre drain starts to overflow like that majority of the time if you raise the pan part itll help it get flowing again not all the time but it has definitly saved me a few times🤣
That's why I keep clay cat litter on hand, contains and cleans up really good, and cheap too.
You handled this one with style.
This video reminds me when a delivery of oil in a 55 gallon drum was delivered. The parts department put it in the shop (not quite where it belonged). One of the mechanics forgot it was there and backed into it. 55 gallons of oil on the floor makes for a very very long and bad day. His mistake, involved the whole shop to clean up. Needless to say no customer work was done that day. We had one very clean and tremendously shiny floor for a few days.
Thanks for your humble attitude.
Somehow You gotta put an incentive on cleaning thoroughly, don't You ...?
@@manfredschmalbach9023 so true.
Yeah, except this guy just thoughts it would be funny to drain and make for a good youtube video. It backfired on him. No one asked him to drain the sludge.
i used to use 55gal drums to water sod (until it rooted) but holy crap OIL would be the worst thing to ever spill, haha!.. Today on YT i saw a vid where a guy lost control of his vehicle because of an oil spill on the road. Oil sucks.
@@GMLCoder I crashed my car a few months ago because of an oil slick
In this episode of "I do cars" we tear down a 2.5 liter volkswagen engine after the oiling system was contaminated...🤣
"Is it drained.....?"
I got a good laugh out of this.. Thank goodness we never had this happen decades ago at family's shop. This one is legend.
Have had worse mess then that before. Mechanic I worked with decided to try to use air pressure in gear oil to push it into differential. Way to much air pressure and boom. Gear oil everywhere. Boy does that stuff stink. Plus make a loud noise as well. :) Good video.
Ray my little hack for cleaning up fluids like that when they spill is to use a big dust pan and a window squeegee generally a smaller one like on from the dollar store, gets most of the fluid up and you can drop it into a bucket for storage/transport.
Oil dri. Cover the spill, let it sit for 20 minutes, scoop it up. Makes thing much easier.
You're always so careful not to cause an Exxon Valdez spill, as you call it, but then Karma hits you with a Heinz Valdez. 🤣🤣🤣
best comment I've seen yet
@@vanchie21 best condiment I’ve seen yet!
I love how when you pulled the dipstick you had I'm gonna be an optomist about this playing in the background 😂
Ray:
Buddy (from a game called "Kick the Buddy"): APOCALYPSE! 😱💣💥
If I ever come across a situation like this, I know what to do now. I will use a empty oil drum in stead of a oil catcher to be a on the safe side. Thanks for the learning experience.
The catch can would have had more than enough capacity, if it wasn't already mostly full.
Holy hot mustard sauce Batman!
Great you kept your sense of humor during the whole thing..
These are times you create an extension for the drain hose/tube. Don't move the bin, and drain it where it sits with the extension... have had this happen once or twice. 😆 🤣 good show
You Sir have my absolute sympathies
It took me entirely too long to remediate my mess in the aftermath of a similar disaster
The impromptu barrier was a nice move
And you Sir have a great day tomorrow
You earned it
“I should have been an astronaut” …….we all have been there before. Thanks for sharing this video with us to start off Friday morning with a laugh!
Wood dust/chips! Sawmills have tons of it, and it's the best stuff for big spils. Every time i get oil or coolant on the floor, i put a pile of dry sawdust on it to absorve it. Peat is also great. Rags are bad solution..
SOOOOO FUN W/RAY
Wow. That was a lot of the forbidden milkshake. I am pretty sure someone poured antifreeze straight into the oil fill. The sheer volume of sludge was impressive
Once the catch started overflowing, it definitely became the forbidden fondue fountain
That's real possible! Some coolant is left and the oil is total flooded.
Thats exactly what I was thinking, there was more in the engine than in the cooling system, nice colour tho'.
When an oil filler cap says in writing something like "Use 5W-30 oil", it takes a dummy to pour anything else in there. But they do, don't they!
I laughed hard when you sprayed Ray in the yellow slime with your brake cleaner 😂
I had a 99 Plymouth Breeze and everytime I changed the oil there was more and more frothy gunk that came out at the end of draining it. Thankfully it eventually caught fire and was junked. I knew it was living on borrowed time.
"I wanna know what love is" as the milkshake spills😂
Sawdust is very nice to have when this happens. It absorbs the moisture and makes it much easier to handle.
Cat litter works even better. Pig mats are made for this. Otherwise there are quite a number of products to first bind the oil and some even work to clean up the floor afterwards
@@alexanderkupke920 That's true. However, there are several types of cat litter. One type contains silica gel which is same stuff that's inside the small bags shipped with products sensitive to moisture and it's used to pull moisture out of the air.
Biodegradable cat litter is made or contains sawdust and several other types of plant fibres. Silica gel is very effective especially when it comes to absorb moisture in the air, when it comes to oil I'm not so sure what's most effective. One thing to keep in mind when using silica gel is that it can react with several types of chemicals.
The reason I suggested to use sawdust is because it can be used with almost all sorts of chemicals, it's very cheap, and its absorption rate is very high. I am a trained toolmaker and every shop I've worked in had container with sawdust. When I watched the video I felt an urge to toss a couple of shovels of sawdust on the spillage.
Rice hull ash is another good absorbent.
I guess they never heard of oil-dri.
Pissed myself laughing at that one! The running commentary was brilliant! Thanks for all the videos you have posted.
For approximately thirty five years my cars have been serviced by the same family run business here in Ayr in Scotland and I literally put my life in their hands. I’ll never get my hands dirty, but have total respect for those who do, so to all at McCrone Auto Specialist (Especially the long suffering John) a big thanks for your years of flawless service!
I personally like to do stuff like that myself, it saves alot of money to do your own re-pairs and servicing... I've learnt everything Ik from YT pretty much (For the little mechanics ik but enough to keep things healthy, I did goto college for mechanics for a little while but never finished the course sadly) :(
Not related but I wish you the independence!
I work in the oil industry, and we have these white oil absorbing mats that we use for spills. They are amazing, and will only absorb oil, and leave any water behind
So what you're saying is there's been a solution to the long forgotten oil spill problem occuing in our oceans (that's ignoring the radioactive power plant still leaking and all the car batteries and other goodies)
@@michaelhayes8519 I'm not sure about putting them in a large body of water, I dont think they would float, they are pretty dense. But I'm sure they could make it work somehow, problem is price, they definitely are not cheap.
@@michaelhayes8519 I found them, they are called uline oil only absorbing pads. They are over 100 bucks per pack lol
my dad had a 1998 Audi A4 B5 with a 1.6l gasoline i4 and there was a crack in the cyllinder head, water mixed with oil and it seized, after the engine was swapped i disassembled the old one. The scratches in the crankshaft and rod bearings were like 0.5mm deep
Ray, I would like to thank you for proving to me that this happens to other people too. Thank You Very Much.
For the amount that came out of there, I think it might be worth having a word with the owner to see if they filled up with coolant recently. I'm thinking coolant must have been added to the oil filler and not the overflow tank, there is just too much for it to be a cracked head or gasket failure.
i think you nailed it some one fucked up put coolent in the oil fill
Indeed. Or washer fluid
I'd be inclined to agree with you/85% ish.
Coolant and oil mixed into the hot egg beater engine internals will emulsify the oil and coolant much like beating egg whites in a bowl. It just keeps growing in volume. The mustard color is interesting. It must have been a yellow or orange coolant.

This part gave me similar results when it failed last summer, and I have a 2012 VW.
I think the grand total for all the flushes we had to do was $400-700, but I cannot recall where in the range.
This car probably also has a vacuum pump gasket leak as well, and the replacements can be picked up for like $30 from RKX, and is an absolute pain to get to.
To clean a mess like that it’s best to start with a dust pan and a stiff straight edged piece of cardboard or one of those epoxy mixing spatulas.
One of your funniest videos, but I gotta feel for the car owner. My Toyota dealer noticed a small leak in the gasket on my Sienna, said it may be fine for awhile but one day what you saw would happen. It was an arm and a leg to replace the gasket on a Sienna as it requires a whole engine removal so I sold traded the car in to the dealer a few months later.
This is why I watch. I know this time it was on you. Literally! Funny, improvisation always something different. Dude I was drinking my coffee and laughed and shot coffee out my nose.
🤣
When that dipstick first cam out my initial thought was "oh no, too much mustard in the sump"🤣🤣
Lol. Even the head were overfilled with that amount.
Having your oil container hose at the top like that usually isnt a problem, but in this instance where it drains more slowly the oil reaches the drain nozzle and prevents air from escaping, putting pressure on the tank and not allowing fluid to enter as quickly, if at all.
Suddenly reminded of a moment 20 years ago when my baby girl let loose with a poop rocket while changing her diaper with her rear end pointed at the wall, but my forearm was in the line of fire and she made her very own brown Jackson Pollack.... 🤣
I over pressurized the same oil caddy when I was draining it once. (The pressure release valve was broken) The drain hose flew out of the tank and sprayed high-pressure used oil on me, 2 workmates, and it covered 3 bays.Bad day it was!
I forgot to tighten the funnel riser on one... Funnel and tube blew out like 4ft into the air and misted oil all over me. Luckily the waste oil tank was outside.
Seen one that got stuck in the roof supports
still doesn't beat a acetylene or O2 gas canister (can't remember witch one it was) that landed mile away inside someone house when the bottom blew off, just a very small hole in our work roof and the bottom cap of the canister and a loud bang (we suspect it was user error leaving it lit unattended and it fell over and heated up the canister and boom)
I am so glad that I have yet to have that happen so far in my time turning wrenches. Man I feel for you on this one
Duuuude that oil drain just pumping vw cheese wizz all over the floor had me laughing so hard hahaha. Thanks for the great content!
I think the song "My milk shake brings all the boys in the yard." perfectly sums up this mess.
"Coil" 🤣 my new word of the day.
Looked like it was full of mustard.
It's nice to know a man of your legendary status has bad days as well I feel a little better I do admire you Ray top bloke 👍
I had an old jetta come in same problem, I remembered this video and said do not drain it big mess!!
Cat litter or dry sweep is fantastic
try pulling the pin near the air connection. that may release the air trapped in the can by the thick fluid, allowing it to flow
The amount of brake clean you go through truely makes me jealous. With the high flow cans. Love it.
Ray walking into Car Quest: "Mr Ray, we have your 6 cases of brake clean right here!"
@@lennylipe6434 yeah and _"our next shipment comes in today, so as always we'll have your daily order ready in the morning"_
@@lennylipe6434 I play with big machines. I get 10 cases at a time. I've gone through a case in a day. It's not 'brake cleaner', but a kerosene like industrial solvent. Lots of my stuff has plastic and rubber parts that are damaged by brake cleaner.
This is 1 of many reasons I kept my old semi working shop vac . I have ran into this 2 times and it was like 3 gallons of the forbidden milkshake.
The song in the backround perfect timing
And here I thought I only made messes like this, thanks Ray for making me feel better about myself!
I feel your pain Ray. Here's a good one for you. Early 2010s vw beetle. Lady asked me to take a look at it for her daughter because her daughter said it wouldn't start. They had it towed to my apartments so I could look at it and hopefully fix it. Tried to start it and it acted like the battery was dead even though it was a new battery. Jumped it and finally got it to crank and start. It had a little tapping noise so I shut it off and checked the oil. Oil on the very tip of the dip stick only so I grabbed some I happened to have. Added 2 quarts and started it up. Still taping so I shut it off and checked again. Still the exact same thing so I added another quart and checked again. No change. Thats when I decided to look under the car at the oil pan. No hole to be seen from the front or sides. Looked from the back side of the engine and the hole back of the oil pan was gone. From corner to corner top to bottom. I was parked in the grass so no spill to be seen or I would have added the one quart and realized I had something bad going on. Had to dig up and have the oil contaminated dirt disposed of legally then have some dirt brought back in. Told them what I had discovered and drove the car to the street so they could have it hauled away. Come to find out the oil light had been flickering for days and had stayed on while she was driving and stayed on just before the engine died. There's a reason they call it the idiot light. Lol
Good example of why people need a basic education in car maintenance - Or the alternative at their peril!
What
@@emmanuellopez236 TL;DR Lady drove a car for a few days with a massive hole in the oil pan, after a few attempts at starting OP decides to check under the car and notices aforementioned oil pan hole
A few years back had a customer come in for an oil service and had a coolant leak. Topped off coolant and pressure checked, had a slow leak somewhere. When I pulled my pressure checker off I noticed oil mixed in with the coolant. Popped open the oil cap saw the milkshake, decided to diag further for possible blown head. Customer stated never overheated, didn't get white smoke and no rough idle or misfires. Checked all 6 cylinders for coolant and did a compression test, no coolant in the cylinders and compression was within normal values. Started to suspect oil cooler with a bad seal. Customer stated oil cooler gasket done at another shop a year prior and this just started to happen. Customer admitted topping off coolant by pouring it into the oil fill. The reason there was oil in the coolant, there was a crack in the oil cooler. Oil flush, coolant flush, replaced expansion tank and replaced oil cooler.
@@drwboy07 Did you just say she topped of the oil, with coolant ?
Rainman never boring ⭐
Full twagging schmoo - I'm stealing that!
THAT'S my new epithet!
Mostly it's SMH at customers cars, but this is the first time I've laughed out loud at one of your videos.
Yep. Coffee out the nose time....
Haha, you're throwing in the towel Ray! You always get some interesting repairs! Love your videos!
I never had this happen on my vehicles. Most of them I've kept to at least 250k miles. So I guess it comes down to maintenance and maybe how you drive. The quality of the vehicle helps too. I drive Japanese cars/trucks.
Looks like having a bag of sawdust for emergencies like this may be an idea. Spread the sawdust on the spill and you should be able to scoop it up after soaking a while.
Just a thought.
At least the oil fill cap was oriented properly. That's what kept this engine running.
More entertaining than the usual how not to. Well done Ray!
I did a Transmission Service ...went to parts dept to have the overhead oil fill turned on and charged for ....... When I got back to my bay there was 10 quarts of atf on the floor ....someone had left the trigger stuck on in the dispenser ....
I love the little sounds you make lol
This is the first automotive repair video that has ever made me sick to my stomach..because of the potential catastrophic issue.. I'd be devastated if I discovered coolant intrusion into my oil..I own 1 vehicle...
i've saved a ton of money on my cheap vehicles. but i always check under that oil cap if theres any milkyness, lol. when i was a kid 2 of my cars died because i was lazy about oil, etc, now i check everything
A moment of silence for the VW 2.5l engine. As that thing was draining full bore I was thinking "What's the capacity of the catch drain?" Now we know....OUCH!
Only the customer's wallet was harmed during this video.
Actually I think by the end of the video Ray’s day and attitude were completely shot. Sure wish he had his own garage so we could see the autopsy.
So the information that the owner might be better off buying a new vehicle the good or bad news?
Paying a vehicle off over years might be easier on the pocketbook that paying mid four figures for a new engine and possible other components.
The 2.5 5cylinder is really a great engine. I have one in my Jetta
@@carsonac4163 I bet you didn't mix your coolant with the engine oil yet. Haha. I agree, they are great engines.
Another poluting VW bites Ray and the scrap yard. Yaaa, sorry Ray.
To get flow out of the oil caddy pull the hose out and hold it above the pan it helps
A spill like that is why clay based cat litter was made. It works great to clean up oil spills and it's cheap. Of course, putting the plug back in would have stopped the spill from getting that big
Well done. I enjoyed this, Ray. Thanks dude!
Sorry for that big mess. I would start setting the drain bolt on the jack so I could quickly put it back in to stop the overflow. You live and you learn. You do good work anyway. I'd trust my car to you anyday.
I owned a full service gas station for many years. Dejavue!
You need some speed dry and some absorbing pads, the kind made for spill clean ups. They’ll soak up oil, gas, diesel, jet fuel, etc. but not water.
I had a co-worker back in the '80s who had seen an ad for a car he wanted that was located in NJ. We were in Queens. He took public transportation to get to NJ because he figured he was going to buy the car and drive it back to Queens. When he got there the car's engine knocked really badly but he was stuck with no ride home and he figured if he could only get it back to Queens, he could deal with swapping out the motor. So he walked to a store where he bought several cans of oil (quarts still came in cans back then) and filled the engine up to the valve covers. Started it up and beat a path back to Queens with oil squirting out of every orifice it could find. When I saw him after the weekend he told me how he got it back. I laughed my ass off. He was a Haitian guy with a thick French/Haitian accent and it was like hearing a story told by Inspector Clouseau. I couldn't stop laughing. The mess my friend Pierre made was undoubtedly far worse of a clean up than yours is, Ray.
This is what people in 3rd world countries gotta do to get by if they have no option
Just leaking oil all over the environment is so hilarious
I honestly feel really bad as a fellow mechanic but I’ve been needing a video like this
Hey its ok... just empty the "coil" and then fill up both the coolant and oil with oil... cant mix in coolant if you dont have any! /s
That's a lovely shade of yellow 😍
that was some impressive emulsification going on there, interested in a strip down to see what the cause actually was.
I suspect if the owners decide to replace the engine it will be a junk yard one. Unless Ray does it on his own time it won't happen.
It's been a long week and I needed a good laugh, thanks mate.
As mechanic myself I use absorbent stone that works the best
When you went to the engine.... And I saw the spill on the cover.... I knew what was coming 😂😂😂😂
Kinda reminds me of the time I was doing a transmission line pressure test on a car and it didn't end well. The hose that went to the gauge decided it was done with life and about 5 seconds after I started the car it burst. It sprayed trans fluid all over me, the car, 2 walls (it was in a corner bay), the ceiling, and the car and tech using alignment rack in the next bay over. I swear trans fluid was dripping from the ceiling in that bay for a week lol. Good times, good times lol
Try that with a 140psi of 240ºF #6 oil supply and have the strainer cover gasket fail. There isn't much anything harder to clean up than #6 oil.

I got a good laugh out of that one... That must have sucked hardcore at the time.
Seeing the milk brought back bad memories of my old bronco II. I carried around a 5 gallon gas can with water in it. I can say that poor thing was a champ. Survived a year like that before it just quit while pulling into the school parking lot.
I had a friend with one of those. It overheated if you drove it for more than 10 minutes. He just drove it for ten minutes and then he'd crack the windows open with the heat on full blast. Then he'd drive it another 10 minutes and then if he wasn't at his destination by then, he'd park and wait 20 minutes. One day it just gave up the ghost. What a pile of crap, put probably because it wasn't maintained very well.
