That's how it works at our install days.

Get two or three people - one tool specialist among them, and get things done quickly. Tool specialist keeps the right tools in the hands of the guys wrenching.

That's the plan. Bang it out ASAP. Eat some BBQ. Drink beers and have some kind of system works out to get everybody helped out as fast as possible.

We don't do fluid changes - leaves us a bunch of fluids to dispose of, and people don't want to haul their own fluids home.

Just my .02, however.

By the way, 10 minutes for an oil change? You must not have a Fumoto valve, or have a beer in one hand while removing the oil filter with the other.

haha, it was a joke on my part, making fun of the quickie stop 10min oil changes, or whatever the fk they are called.

We'll have some brake fluid to dispose of though since people will be doing their brakes

Doing an oil change without a fumoto valve doesn't take much longer, you might save a few mins if you're a total noob at doing oil changes... I love my fumoto valve because I'm lazy and it saves me a precious 30 seconds. lol


Best thing about it is that you can drain oil with good accuracy.

Fumoto valve doesn't drain as fast... however... your oil change just became tool-less. Open valve, drain, close valve, change filter, fill in oil. No tools needed.

May go just to help out and learn as well. Possibly caravan with Sione if he is willing. I'm down to bring some beer and sodas for those that are driving. Any preferences in beer?
