50. (True neighbor story) Make your 17 year old son change the oil, giving him explicit instrutions how to do it. He drains the oil, changes the filter, puts the plug back in, and adds 5 quarts. Test drives it around the block, and comes walking back home. http://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/icon_confused.gif The car was an old 75-ish Chevelle, it had a drain plug on the TH350.... need I say more? http://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif (BTW, the ol\' man wasn\'t \'zactly a mechanical genius either)
