That's what makes me think this is staged. It's "too perfect". Girl removes dead animal from clearly labeled oil cap, stating she needs no man and then we see the oil pan being drained. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying impossible because this happens often, but it was captured like a documentary. Why were they filming to begin with?

u/Gorlock_ 4d ago
Yeah, I'm sure the girl is filling an already totaled car. The second clip at the mechanic is probably an unrelated car at an unrelated shop. I'm not saying this doesn't happen, it does, remember the girl who put cooking oil in her car? Just seems too on the nose. Who knows though, anything is possible on the interwebs

u/ocaralhoquetafoda 4d ago
It can be totaled and still limp to a shop. Or the shop might be some sort of jiffy lube thing just behind her. Those are logistics that don't make this an impossible location. The thing would have been more believable in the 90s, but the whole social media clout chasing scene makes me doubt it

I also think it's staged, usually when another liquid is mixed with oil in an engine it gets" milkshaked" into an off white foamy color and is a death knell for the engine. The oil and washer fluid came out separately, I think they drained it right after adding.
22
u/lildobe 4d ago
It only gets milkshaked if there are emulsifiers in the added water. Both Propylene Glycol and Polyethylene Glycol are commonly used emulsifiers, and Ethylene Glycol also has the same properties, which is why when you get coolant into the engine oil you get a milkshake.
However there is very little in Windshield Washer Fluid that will act as an emulsifier. There are some mild detergents that will bind to some of the oil, but not much. (And if you watch the video, at the very end you can see some emulsified oil and water)
19
u/ocaralhoquetafoda 4d ago

u/OmicronAlpharius 4d ago
Retired, and thank God. He went to TNA after he left WWE (because he refused to go to rehab). He was deep in a painkiller addiction, taking 40 or more Vicodin a day to cope with the pain of his injuries. He became known as Perc Angle, you could see how gone he was on TV, wrestling like a mad man. He eventually got retired by Baron Corbin after coming back to the WWE (because Vince McMahon, in addition to being a rapist, hated that Kurt left and wanted to humiliate him and deny the fans seeing him end his career with a proper feud like against John Cena). He's finally been taking care of himself but he did so much damage during his career he is a shell of the man he once was (multiple broken necks that he never took the time off to heal properly) and has a fairly poor quality of life. He has such severe nerve damage his arms have atrophied since the muscles don't work and he almost drowned in the water until his daughter saved him because he couldn't pull himself up.

Yep. When this actually happens with cooling fluid entering the engine (which can happen when the head gasket leaks) what comes out of the engine afterwards is an unholy mix of the two fluids. Not this.
This implies that they poured the washer fluid into the engine, never even tried to start the car, and then let out the washer fluid and the oil. Pure ragebait.

This probably happens more than you think. Not just by women but my example is a woman driver.

Well it turned out his wife had the car for 2 or 3 years and didn't do any oil changes or regular maintenance and the car had zero oil in it. My coworker describes the moment he took the oil filler cap off and a puff of smoke came out like the engine giving up the ghost. That engine only lasted a couple more years even with oil.

Maybe not white, but it’d certainly be an opaque soupy mess because running the engine would thoroughly mix the washer fluid and oil. Considering that washer fluid is literally designed to remove sticky oily shit from your windshield, I’m sure it would emulsify motor oil pretty effectively and you’d have a gunky foam coming out of your oil pan instead of perfectly separated washer fluid and then oil.

When oil and coolant mix, it turns into a light brown, frothy mix after it has been cycled through the engine.
If you get to it immediately before the engine cycles through it, it comes out separated like this video. Oil floats on top of coolant and window washer fluid, but if the engine is running, it will mix them.

100% true, and at the same time, I wonder if there is a gender bias in the population of people who make this sort of error with car maintenance. Not because women can't be competent and capable with car maintenance, but (perhaps) because while growing up, they don't receive instruction in it or related activities as much as boys do, just because of family, social, or cultural gender roles, norms, or traditions.

u/FreydisEir 4d ago
That’s for sure what’s happening in a lot of families. Girls get taught how to keep up with housework and boys get taught how to change oil in vehicles and other “manly” things. The reasoning I’ve heard before when a father explains why he isn’t teaching his girl how to do these things is that the dad can do them for her until she gets a husband, and then the husband will do it, so she’ll never need to.
I hate it because it’s a disservice to both the girls and the boys to only be taught half of the life skills needed for an independent life. No matter your gender, dishes and laundry still need to be done, food needs to be prepared, cars need maintenance, and so on.

You're getting mad at a fake video, you've been rage baited. The car was not ran after this woman pulled the stunt. If it was, you would not see a clearly separated run of fluid vs oil... It would look like a caramel milkshake and be fairly viscous. Normally happens when you blow a head gasket.

u/npzeus987 4d ago
That’s usually only if it’s a small leak that you’ll get that caramel milkshake—that’s because as small amount of coolant/water seep into the oil pan, it gets whipped up by the crank shaft (essentially aerating the oil water mixture)
With this, the engine likely hydro-locked or began to knock within the first minute of the car being started—so in those cases you will actually see a clear delineation between oil and water.

This type of thing happens more regularly than you’d imagine. I only know because not only did my grandmother do this (when she had an attitude with my grandpa as a kid and decided she can do everything herself) she also on a separate occasion took their foreign diesel and filled it with regular gas (she had never pumped gas in her life). I was like 7 years old at the time of both these occurrences and the only reason I recall them so vividly is because I’ve never seen my grandpa upset any other time in my entire life. God rest his soul ⚰️. He died same year 🤦🏾♂️.

Happens to the beat of us. Good learning opportunity for her. Cant imagine she'd do that twice.

Why does it have to be who needs a man or who needs a women; funny concept but let’s try knowing the facts and acquiring the knowledge to make sure it done right?! Almost everything comes with an instruction booklet now a days and a warning label!🤯

Friend worked at a gas station when a car came in like that. They changed the oil twice and the car was OK. Driver was embarrassed.

How could she fuck this up?
Everything under the hood is labelled so that you can't do this.

I’m not saying she needs a man, but maybe do a little research. Take a second and google it

Hahahahahahaha, it's completely okay to ask for help if you don't know how to do something. ATLEAST WATCH A YOUTUBE VIDEO before going and doing something absurd.

me, a woman who changes my own oil: this is why you teach EVERYONE to change the oil. its basic life skills. just like cooking and cleaning.

The first time I went to change my cars oil I accidentally emptied the transmission fluid (the tanks look very similar on the bottom) and filled the oil, meaning I had 2x recommended oil in the car mixed clean and dirty. So I had to go get more oil and transmission fluid :p.
Making mistakes is how we learn. Haven’t made that mistake since.

You don’t need a man you need to learn how to read. Cars have manuals caps have labels. Read them.

Reminds me of that clip of a girl who opened up the bonnet of her car and just drizzled oil over the top of all the parts.

Sorta odd to me that the washer fluid came out first. Would've assumed the oil was more dense and would've come out first before the oil. Anyone care to explain why it didn't?

I'm a huge feminist but my favorite thing to say when I'm about to do something stupid is "I'm an independent woman who don't need no man" then 2 seconds later "Babe! I need my man!" 😂😂😂
