Talk:Blinker fluid

From here:

Q: I am writing you at my dad's request. Recently, my boyfriend offered to change the oil in my car for me. I have a 1992 Olds 88 in very good condition (180,000 miles). Up until now, my dad has maintained it. My boyfriend charged me $45 for parts and nothing for the work. He said most of the cost was to refill the fluid levels in the headlights. When I informed my dad of this, he called me an idiot and told me not to see this boy ever again. When I asked why, he said to write to you guys. I don't understand. My boyfriend said he used the "halogen" type fluid, which is supposed to be better than the standard type. What did I do wrong? Melissa

Tom: Gee, I don't know, Melissa. My brother tops off my headlight fluid all the time, and he usually charges me more than that.

Heh. I used to work in a mechanics' shop and heard all kinds of bullshit that guys would pass off to their idiot friends as automotive knowledge, but never anything this ridiculous. Although, there was one guy who poured oil down his transmission fluid pipe. But hey, at least he tried. 150.108.232.21 00:44, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
