Default Another Epic Fail

This LT1 owner put two quarts of brake fluid during a routine oil change and it just gets better from there. It's a little long as always but worth it.

He tried to clean out the brake fluid, check this out his quote, no ****.

I used brake clean. I figured if it had brake fluid in it I should use that to get it out. I drained the oil, sprayed about 4 cans through it while turning the motor over at the crank bolt then drained it out and put more oil and about 2.5 quarts of lucas in it to thicken it up.

I did not change the filter because I thought it was new enough. Should I go back and change the filter? Do you think that is my problem?

Holy ****** no way in hell Classic, I really feel for this guy.

Yes and no, I think the break fluid accident was real, But then he realized how much of a rise he was getting outta people. So I think he just went along for the ride and made **** up along the way.

Idk anyone that.... "gifted". If you can change motor oil, u know what doesnt go in there.
