Check your oil day.
 

Seems is 'Check your oil day' (in your car, of course !).

Have you done this, seems only 60% of people only do it every 2 months, and 10% never at all ! Would save the country an amazing £300 million in repairs ... wow !

So go on .. just do it .. couple of minutes at the most.

Just done mine, glad I did, the screen washer was quite low, and that's a pain if it starts to rain and smears muck all over the windscreen.

Anyway, anybody done it yet ? C'mon not too hard is it ?

Re: Check your oil day.
 

Check mine couple of times a month, find it pointless checking it every day

Re: Check your oil day.
 

My fella is always checking his oil on the car, especially when he goes on long trips!, and the water and his tyres.......ya know sometimes i think he cares more for his ruddy car than he does me!:rolleyes:....LOL

Re: Check your oil day.
 

Not sure if you have understood Emzy ..LOL ...not 'Check your oil daily' Check your oil day' ya' know like 'No smoking day', etc.

Re: Check your oil day.

Re: Check your oil day.
 

:D Funny how things come across sometimes.

Re: Check your oil day.
 

Monday morning first thing, check all the vehicles! And have a check sheet to show results, and any faults noted!

Re: Check your oil day.
 

Doesnt fix them he just notes them......

Re: Check your oil day.
 

Well hubby does ours lol, usually when light comes on .. jk, he also does daughters when she come over too.;):)

If it wasnt for him we,d blow up:eek::D:alright:

Re: Check your oil day.
 

Sorry girls, I know I'm totally letting the side down here but......I don't know how to do it. :o

It's just one of those things that my husband's always done. I've never asked to be shown......very embarrassed to admit this. Maybe I will ask him to show me. I think it is a basic thing that all drivers should be able to do.

Re: Check your oil day.
 

oh dear....... i cant drive and i know how to do it.....i can change a tyre as well :D

Re: Check your oil day.
 

I know, emamum.

I'm not proud.

I will ask him to show me. :o

Re: Check your oil day.
 

Changed many a tyre in my driving life Emamum ... trouble is they tighten those nuts up so bloody tight these days, 'aint got the muscle power to reverse them, so have always to send for that 'very, very, nice man' to do it for me .. LOL.

Have just got my renewal from the Mother of this very, very nice man ... £ 214 !! (top cover) .. OK .. still paying for son too (this will have to stop .. he earning more than me now !!). Nevertheless, worth every penny .. hope you lot covered here.

Re: Check your oil day.
 

I check my oil and water when I think about it, which isn't really often enough (must admit did it on Wednesday) but hey ho who cares, the little belter still runs, and gets me where I want to go. :D

Re: Check your oil day.
 

During her first year of driving my daughter managed to blow two engines one in my little Citreon that I had let her borrow for a few months, then in her Fiesta despite the fact that I'd always ask if she'd checked the oil and got a yes for the answer, turned out she thought 'checking the oil' meant oil change on a yearly service at the garage.

She definitely knows what it means now, but I still go out and check it when she comes over just in case.

Katex check you bank, barclays does an account called additions plus which includes full personal breakdcown cover, travel insurance, will writing, mobile insurance and more all for 15 quid a month or 180 a year. I am pretty sure the other banks do similar.

PS being a pedant its changing a wheel what is being discussed, changing a tyre is what mr kwik fit et al do :D

Re: Check your oil day.
 

Thanks for that Entwisi .. mine actually costs £ 180 and just £34 extra for my son with the same facilites, but will certainly take a look.

Yes, you right re. wheel/tyre .. just one of those things you say ... doubt whether could get the tyre off without that specialised equipment .. :D
