once you've replaced the drain bolt (plug) and put the new filter on, your set to go ahead and put the new oil in. the oil cap is clearly labeled under the hood. also check the dip stick as well, by dip stick i mean the oil dip stick, ok? not me! make sure you have enough oil in your motor to operate safely. happy trails.

Always double check when the old filter comes off the rubber comes with it.

It is VERY important to do these steps in this order.

Trust me.

So Tree Fae and I volunteered for Maker Faire here in KC today, and I met this guy who I'd seen on Pawn Stars trying to sell this very robot. Turns out he's from the KC area. I'd always wondered just how produced that Pawn Stars was, and I asked the guy about it. He confirmed what I had always figured...that it is totally scripted and produced. In the case of he and his robot, he had emailed the producers eight months before he finally was filmed, and was told to show up on a prearranged date to conduct his "transaction". He was interesting to talk to.

That explains why there's nobody around when they're negotiating, and why Chumley hasn't been fired.
I've always wondered if shows like Pawnstars, Orange County Choppers, and Pickers, get paid to do it or just promises of increased business and t-shirt sales.

I'm sure the principals get paid. But yeah, Gold and Silver Pawn Shop is now a tourist destination because of the show.
