QOTD 6/3

If you had to could you change a tire on your car?  Could you change your oil?

Re: QOTD 6/3

  • Sadly, no.  I know how to check the oil, add freezer fluid and wiper fluid, and fill up the tank :P

  • I could do my tire, no problem. I've had soooo many tire troubles in my life. Ugh.

    I could maybe do my oil. But, I might forget a step and that could be catastrophic.

  • Sadly, no. I feel like this is a skill that everyone should know how to do, but I never learned.

  • I could. But I don't.

  • In theory I know how to do both. But I wouldn't trust myself to do it.

    Nope.  I've seen D change my tires countless times, but I don't know if I'm strong enough to do it.   I'm not confident on my ability to change the oil either.

    ETA: I'm sure my mother is ashamed of my helpless-ness...When my dad left she became super independent and learned how to maintain her vehicle herself. She didn't actually change the oil and stuff but she knew how. And when mechanics would try to take advantage of her (because she is a woman) my mom would call them out!

  • I can do both but I am also one who chooses not to.

  • That's why I married a mechanic!

    I can change tires, but not oil

  • Nope. Can't do either. H does his own oil changes. He doesn't do my car since it's new, but he could if he looked it up.

  • I can check the oil, though I never have.  I don't have a clue how to change the oil in a car.

    I know how to change a tire.  I tried once and it was hard, some man pulled over, changed the tire, got back in his car and drive off before my friends and I could even say thank you.  He didn't say a word to us except, "Excuse me."
  • I could do both if I needed/wanted to. I actually restored an older model Miata about 8 years ago and also helped my XH restore a '67 Cougar. At some point in the future, I'd like to get another car to restore. It can be really fun!
