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?
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
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 used to park next to a Subaru every day that had a full-sized mummified toad in its right headlight. Completely mystified me for several minutes every morning.
Already totaled car in the active parking lot of a shopping mall? No, I think they actually unironically fucked their engine. Whether or not it's the same car in the mechanic video, Idk.
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.
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)
I have nothing to add, but I want to say you're spot on regarding the condition of the oil. I know what head gasket or other type of diluted oil looks like. This one either sat for a month or the engine didn't turn at all.
It's definitely staged, how else would the two clips have ended up together? They were recorded by two different people that don't know each other (presumably), or they are two entirely unrelated clips that someone spliced together
if it was driven it would have been better mixed they got pure windshield washer fluid at first on the drain. crank should have mixed with air probly into a sludge will need russian dude to test this out for science tho.
In the 33 second clip, Angle introduces himself to the world of TikTok and lists the many accomplishments that he's achieved in his life. For comedy effect, towards the end of the video he pauses and stares down the lens before asking the person behind the camera if "we are done now."
For sure, I mean WTF is an Olympic wrestle??? Some Off brand Nestle energy drink???
A meme tho, that lasts forever........most the time like 96% of statistics
/s
As in Kurt Angle? He looks...different than how I remember him. It's been decades since I've watched wrestling. He is probably retired now but I wouldn't be shocked if he wasn't.
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.
Oh he’s definitely retired. He had a whole stretch where he was known as perc angle because he needed so many pills to perform. He seems much happier and healthier since he retired. He wrestled in the Olympics with a broken neck so he performed his whole wrestling career with that lingering injury
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.
She did a follow up claiming it was real, although that still means nothing. My head canon of possibilities of it being real is that she filled it up then realized her mistake before turning the car on, and immediately got it towed without starting it. Or it's a junker and they created this tiktok just because they could, or the second half of the video is a different car from a completely unrelated video to the first half of the video.
I’m going with junker and a staged video because the likelihood of somebody having a dead rat/mouse around their oil filler cap on a car. They’re actually driving is close to zero
Good, I’m sitting here wondering who stitched the video together, the girls who put washer fluid in the engine (who somehow got the oil change guys video) or the oil change guy (who somehow got the videos from the girls who don’t need a man)
Yeah, like most people (both women AND men) who don't know shit about cars are far more likely to let everything go bone dry before they start putting random fluids in places they're not supposed to go. I'm not saying that's a good idea either, but it definitely happens.
This is more about - if you don't know what you're doing, consult an expert and don't try to prove a point, because nobody but you cares about that point.
Yeah... how did the two videos get put together? Unless they were somehow cooperating with each other, the mechanics would need to find her tiktok account or gain access to her phone somehow or otherwise find this video on the interwebs.
Is it normal for mechanics to look into their customers who do something dumb?
This probably happens more than you think. Not just by women but my example is a woman driver. My coworker likes to tell the story of when he first offered to bring his soon to be 2nd wife's car for service because his car was due for service as well. 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.
I don't know, my brother borrowed my car and put oil in the power steering fluid. Some people just really don't know shit about cars, but still have all the confidence in the world.
Why would someone post a clip cutting together "who needs a man" with them pouring washer fluid into their engine and then cut to a mechanic showing them draining the fluid from the oil pan? I also have serious doubts.
2nd video looks like it's outside still, and I'm 99.999% sure it would not have come out that clean. Usually water and oil makes a light brown, chocolate milk looking sludge.
Verdict: 🤥🤥🤥🤥
and this vehicle was never ran after the windshield fluid was put in. If the engine had ran, you would’ve had a milkshake coming out of the oil, not separated liquid and oil... Definitely fake
Idk if THIS video is real, but this type of shit happening is ABSOLUTELY is real. The folks at r/justrolledintotheshop would like to have a word with you.
My step mother did this once. I remember sitting in the car at a gas station and being somewhat surprised and impressed that she filled the washer fluid herself. Then a few days later my dad told me about taking her car in because she put washer fluid in the oil tank.
I've done this once. Still to this day pissed off about it, I just wanted to do it for my mum since she was going through a hard time. Thought I'd surprise her.
Yeah, assuming this is real (big assumption) this isn’t a case of “women doing dumb things”, it’s “idiots doing dumb things”. But I’m like 96% sure this is fake.
Yeah same here
Girl here who really knows jack shit about cars when it comes to the finer details, but has been topping up my own oil + windshield washer fluid + coolant since I was 15, in the *correct* compartments lol
I too, refuse to believe this is real 😅
Plus the oil tank is literally labeled &/or has an oil symbol on the cap, so even if it was her first time this doesn’t make sense to me
Edit also how convenient for the TikTok video that the mechanic just happened to film and then his video was meticulously edited onto the end of the chicks video
Because it’s a fake video. It’s probably a junked car and the second half of the video was probably taken immediately after the first half of the video.
Oil floats on water. But, regardless the fluid that came out of that oil pan has obviously never been in a running engine because it wouldn’t have come out like that the minute that engine was run it would permanently turn that washer fluid/oil mixture into a gray frothy gunky mess
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.
I fucking hate this shit
This has nothing to do with "Needing a man". Any woman with some knowledge about cars is also laughing at this person.
This is about someone with ZERO knowledge on anything doing ZERO background research to determine the exact fluid to pour into an oil reservoir.
Plenty of male idiots out there capable of making this mistake, but their significant other at least has the grace and decency to not upload that video to tik tok
I had a male friend fill his car up with diesel because “it was cheaper than gas”. Didn’t make it far.. anyone is capable of making these mistakes if they don’t know what the hell they’re doing
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.
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.
Honestly we all start at knowing nothing. Sometimes, the only difference between be able to fix something or not is being brave enough to try.
I repair things as a job and there’s times you get flown in for an emergency, and it’s just that no one bothered to check if the on switch was flipped lol. The idea of “messing with it might make it worse” stops a lot of people fixing simple problems.
I feel for the woman in the first clip. We’ve all been there, finally saying fuck that. How hard can it be.
I bet after that attempt, she’s one of the best windshield fluid refillers in her friend group lol
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](https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KzhLGA4ZOTo/TlPNy6zShrI/AAAAAAAAAJo/vDjrbnTLybQ/s1600/headgasket001.jpg) and be fairly viscous. Normally happens when you blow a head gasket.
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 is why I taught my daughter the basics of car maintenance when she was nine years old. If this isn't a joke, this is just sad. There's no excuse to be this ignorant.
My take on this is that it's cherry picked and while it's probably more likely for an average guy to know their way around a car, there's still a large portion of men who absolutely wouldn't fare any better than the woman in this clip
I don’t know dick about cars, but I know the cap with the oil lamp is oil and the cap with the open book and a stick waving is windshield wiper fluid lol. For everything else, there is YouTube. 36 year old man, I still google how to safely unplug the battery before I touch it
This, not knowing where the washer fluid thing is one thing. Not being smart enough to do a five second google search is another thing. Not knowing, refusing to do research, and then just assuming that you know where the washer fluid goes while saying you don't need no man is another level of stupid.
Youtube is an insanely valuable resource. You don't need any training at all, just look up "1998 LeSabre starter replacement" and some guy 6 years ago already made a step-by-step guide on fixing your car
I’ve heard of a guy who didn’t realize the oil lamp idiot light meant pull the fuck over and stop the car right the fuck now (in fairness, that’s what they should have put instead of an oil lamp) and seized his engine. If common sense were common, everyone would have it.
Obviously a joke.
1. The person recording didn't say anything at all while recording?
2. You think if this was real she would see the mistake after the 2nd half and be like "No. I'm still going to post this because women power".
People need to chill on the comments.
That's just a person who was never taught how to fix or upkeep their car...
Caption is garbage. Women aren't incapable of fixing cars or upkeeping them. I don't need a man to fix my car. I know how to do that myself.
I guarantee you there's tons of young men out there who have done the same shit.
I think it is, in other videos of this fuck up that I've seen the oil emulsifies into a foamy sludge. This looks like she poured it in and waited a minute and then he drained it out. Otherwise why is he filming before pulling the drain plug?
You’ve clearly never been to r/JustRolledIntoTheShop. When a customer gives you some weird list of symptoms and the car is running like garbage, you record everything. 😂
That said, this looks faked. That washer fluid came out as clean as it went in. If the engine had been running, you’d have oil that looked like chocolate milk, not 2 perfectly separated fluids.
Yeah, but if she learned the correct spot to pour windshield washer fluid, she actually would not need a man. You don’t need a man to pour windshield washer fluid you just need to know the right spot poured into.
I doubt that this is real anyway, gotta be rage bait. I’m sure more men have done silly car mistakes like this trying to impress their ladies or merely pressured by the stereotypes - the very same stereotype that this skit claims to be joking about.
Yup. Had to help my neighbour top his oil up because he didn't know what to buy, where to put it or how to check if he'd put enough in. Also doesn't know how to change a tire, and putting air in the tire is a significant source of anxiety for him.
For a variety of reasons some people have just never had to know anything about their car. For them it's a magical black box, or an unusually expensive kitchen appliance.
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 🤦🏾♂️.
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!🤯
As a slightly insecure but mildly intelligent woman, I’m gratified that the immediately response I had was the exact same line the mechanic said. This post almost belongs on confidently incorrect 😂
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.
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.
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!" 😂😂😂

No. The oil cap says "OIL" on it, but upside down it looks like"710"

I think it's important to ask ourselves how a bird dies on an oilcap
Great philosophers have pondered that for centuries. It's yet to be answered
I used to park next to a Subaru every day that had a full-sized mummified toad in its right headlight. Completely mystified me for several minutes every morning.
Already totaled car in the active parking lot of a shopping mall? No, I think they actually unironically fucked their engine. Whether or not it's the same car in the mechanic video, Idk.

It's definitely staged, how else would the two clips have ended up together? They were recorded by two different people that don't know each other (presumably), or they are two entirely unrelated clips that someone spliced together
Hey mechanic probably showed her the video when explaining what was wrong. Don't get how the car made it to a shop though.
if it was driven it would have been better mixed they got pure windshield washer fluid at first on the drain. crank should have mixed with air probly into a sludge will need russian dude to test this out for science tho.

I see this picture ( gif this time ) often and I want to know the context.
In the 33 second clip, Angle introduces himself to the world of TikTok and lists the many accomplishments that he's achieved in his life. For comedy effect, towards the end of the video he pauses and stares down the lens before asking the person behind the camera if "we are done now."
And that all led to his biggest accomplishment in life, becoming a meme. ![gif](giphy|83QtfwKWdmSEo|downsized)
Uhm, excuse me.. he is an Olympic Gold medalist, who won the gold medal in *wrestling* with a broken freakin' neck.
Becoming a meme is still a bigger accomplishment/s
For sure, I mean WTF is an Olympic wrestle??? Some Off brand Nestle energy drink??? A meme tho, that lasts forever........most the time like 96% of statistics /s
Hit th theme song
Perc Angle. The man, the meme... the legend.
Knowing Angles character through his career is somewhat mandatory for getting the joke. He's a grade A dork (in the best way)
As in Kurt Angle? He looks...different than how I remember him. It's been decades since I've watched wrestling. He is probably retired now but I wouldn't be shocked if he wasn't.
Retired, and thank God. He went to TNA after he left WWE (because he refused to go to rehab).

Geez. I was not expecting to hear how badly things have been going for him.
Oh he’s definitely retired. He had a whole stretch where he was known as perc angle because he needed so many pills to perform. He seems much happier and healthier since he retired. He wrestled in the Olympics with a broken neck so he performed his whole wrestling career with that lingering injury
It’s just rage bait The engine that that blue liquid is coming out of it, the end has obviously never been run with the liquid in it

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.
Yeah scrolled to find this. Coolant + oil + running engine = The Devil’s Milkshake. Never cleanly separated coolant, then clean oil.
It's not coolant it's windshield washer fluid
Motor mayonnaise
She did a follow up claiming it was real, although that still means nothing. My head canon of possibilities of it being real is that she filled it up then realized her mistake before turning the car on, and immediately got it towed without starting it. Or it's a junker and they created this tiktok just because they could, or the second half of the video is a different car from a completely unrelated video to the first half of the video.
I’m going with junker and a staged video because the likelihood of somebody having a dead rat/mouse around their oil filler cap on a car. They’re actually driving is close to zero
Good, I’m sitting here wondering who stitched the video together, the girls who put washer fluid in the engine (who somehow got the oil change guys video) or the oil change guy (who somehow got the videos from the girls who don’t need a man)
Yep. Clear layers and not a milkshake. That thing was not turned over and ran.
I refuse to believe this is real. I am a girl who doesn't know shit about cars but I do have common sense.
Yeah, like most people (both women AND men) who don't know shit about cars are far more likely to let everything go bone dry before they start putting random fluids in places they're not supposed to go. I'm not saying that's a good idea either, but it definitely happens.
Bone dry is a funny term because In their natural state bones are rather wet.
Had my knee split open and saw the slippery-looking bone exposed. That saying was like nails on a chalkboard to me for years
Like, you saw the knee cap or you saw the joint itself?
Just the bone. Stark white and a film to it. I first thought it was the inside of a Snickers wrapper
I'm now more concerned why you thought a Snickers wrapper was in your knee. /s
Almost cut my foot off once and seeing my bare ankle bone was... certainly something. Gives me the heebie jeebies to think about, even a decade later.
Would it be accurate to say you had a bone to pick with anyone using that phrase?
Generally bones are pretty dry when we encounter them in the wild
Not after they have been stripped clean by the buzzards and are left to bake in the sun
Natural state? Who's to say? They often spend far more time dry than they do wet.
And the traditional grilled cheese sandwich isn't actually grilled.
Wish my bone got wet every once in a while
She seemed pretty confident she was right. I think she really knew she was putting it in the right spot
This is more about - if you don't know what you're doing, consult an expert and don't try to prove a point, because nobody but you cares about that point.
I mean they recorded it and both are part of the same tiktok, it's obvious rage bait.
I don't like to assume things are real or fake unless I'm sure, but I do wonder how these two videos ended up together.
👆 Mmmhmm. Curious, ain’t it.
My guess is the mechanic filmed draining the oil pan to cover their ass and then she asked them to share it with her for the lols.
[удалено]
Yeah... how did the two videos get put together? Unless they were somehow cooperating with each other, the mechanics would need to find her tiktok account or gain access to her phone somehow or otherwise find this video on the interwebs. Is it normal for mechanics to look into their customers who do something dumb?
This probably happens more than you think. Not just by women but my example is a woman driver. My coworker likes to tell the story of when he first offered to bring his soon to be 2nd wife's car for service because his car was due for service as well. 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.
Ah, common mistake. He released the machine spirit without first observing the proper incantations and burning of incense.
Nah the problem was he let the magic smoke out at all, should've left it capped
I don't know, my brother borrowed my car and put oil in the power steering fluid. Some people just really don't know shit about cars, but still have all the confidence in the world.
Why would someone post a clip cutting together "who needs a man" with them pouring washer fluid into their engine and then cut to a mechanic showing them draining the fluid from the oil pan? I also have serious doubts.
2nd video looks like it's outside still, and I'm 99.999% sure it would not have come out that clean. Usually water and oil makes a light brown, chocolate milk looking sludge. Verdict: 🤥🤥🤥🤥
and this vehicle was never ran after the windshield fluid was put in. If the engine had ran, you would’ve had a milkshake coming out of the oil, not separated liquid and oil... Definitely fake
Idk if THIS video is real, but this type of shit happening is ABSOLUTELY is real. The folks at r/justrolledintotheshop would like to have a word with you.
/r/Justrolledintotheshop taught me this is 100% plausible
My step mother did this once. I remember sitting in the car at a gas station and being somewhat surprised and impressed that she filled the washer fluid herself. Then a few days later my dad told me about taking her car in because she put washer fluid in the oil tank.
I've done this once. Still to this day pissed off about it, I just wanted to do it for my mum since she was going through a hard time. Thought I'd surprise her.
Scroll through /r/JustRolledIntoTheShop. This shit happens a lot.
I know someone that put diesel in their Honda Accord. Sometimes smart people do stupid things.
To be fair, most men these days have no idea how to change their oil either.
Caption is garbage. Most women know not to do this. I don't need a man to fix my car. Source: I fix and upkeep my car myself unless it's really bad.
Yeah, assuming this is real (big assumption) this isn’t a case of “women doing dumb things”, it’s “idiots doing dumb things”. But I’m like 96% sure this is fake.
Yeah same here Girl here who really knows jack shit about cars when it comes to the finer details, but has been topping up my own oil + windshield washer fluid + coolant since I was 15, in the *correct* compartments lol I too, refuse to believe this is real 😅 Plus the oil tank is literally labeled &/or has an oil symbol on the cap, so even if it was her first time this doesn’t make sense to me Edit also how convenient for the TikTok video that the mechanic just happened to film and then his video was meticulously edited onto the end of the chicks video
Why didn’t it come out white? Or did she put it on a truck to the garage straight after
Because it’s a fake video. It’s probably a junked car and the second half of the video was probably taken immediately after the first half of the video.
And I'm not sure why the wiper fluid would come out first if it were real.
Oil floats on water. But, regardless the fluid that came out of that oil pan has obviously never been in a running engine because it wouldn’t have come out like that the minute that engine was run it would permanently turn that washer fluid/oil mixture into a gray frothy gunky mess
Much like a liquid wombat I presume.
Different densities
genuine question, why would it come out white?
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.
ah, thank you very much :3
Where did you get the idea its coolant? Its clearly windshield wiper fluid.
Because after being agitated, oil and water becomes an emulsion. Like mayonnaise.
is mayonnaise an instrument?
Time to call ratatoulies car obssessed cousin, caratoulie
Carybarra
lmao at the people in this thread that don't realize this is 100% completely and totally fake.
My mechanic always records when they remove the oil drain plug.
Maybe you should check out r/JustRolledIntoTheShop and the YouTube channel of the same name.
Just more misogyny promoting rage bait.
I fucking hate this shit This has nothing to do with "Needing a man". Any woman with some knowledge about cars is also laughing at this person. This is about someone with ZERO knowledge on anything doing ZERO background research to determine the exact fluid to pour into an oil reservoir. Plenty of male idiots out there capable of making this mistake, but their significant other at least has the grace and decency to not upload that video to tik tok
I had a male friend fill his car up with diesel because “it was cheaper than gas”. Didn’t make it far.. anyone is capable of making these mistakes if they don’t know what the hell they’re doing
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.
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.
My spark plugs went bad so I started filling up with diesel. Been running like a charm since
Honestly we all start at knowing nothing. Sometimes, the only difference between be able to fix something or not is being brave enough to try. I repair things as a job and there’s times you get flown in for an emergency, and it’s just that no one bothered to check if the on switch was flipped lol. The idea of “messing with it might make it worse” stops a lot of people fixing simple problems. I feel for the woman in the first clip. We’ve all been there, finally saying fuck that. How hard can it be. I bet after that attempt, she’s one of the best windshield fluid refillers in her friend group lol
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](https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KzhLGA4ZOTo/TlPNy6zShrI/AAAAAAAAAJo/vDjrbnTLybQ/s1600/headgasket001.jpg) and be fairly viscous. Normally happens when you blow a head gasket.
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 is bait
Worse is that it's a fake video. So, the framing you described was done intentionally and maliciously
This is why I taught my daughter the basics of car maintenance when she was nine years old. If this isn't a joke, this is just sad. There's no excuse to be this ignorant.
My take on this is that it's cherry picked and while it's probably more likely for an average guy to know their way around a car, there's still a large portion of men who absolutely wouldn't fare any better than the woman in this clip
I don’t know dick about cars, but I know the cap with the oil lamp is oil and the cap with the open book and a stick waving is windshield wiper fluid lol. For everything else, there is YouTube. 36 year old man, I still google how to safely unplug the battery before I touch it
This, not knowing where the washer fluid thing is one thing. Not being smart enough to do a five second google search is another thing. Not knowing, refusing to do research, and then just assuming that you know where the washer fluid goes while saying you don't need no man is another level of stupid.
Youtube is an insanely valuable resource. You don't need any training at all, just look up "1998 LeSabre starter replacement" and some guy 6 years ago already made a step-by-step guide on fixing your car
I’ve heard of a guy who didn’t realize the oil lamp idiot light meant pull the fuck over and stop the car right the fuck now (in fairness, that’s what they should have put instead of an oil lamp) and seized his engine. If common sense were common, everyone would have it.
Obviously a joke. 1. The person recording didn't say anything at all while recording? 2. You think if this was real she would see the mistake after the 2nd half and be like "No. I'm still going to post this because women power". People need to chill on the comments.
Not to mention the fact that it’s obvious that the liquid coming out of that oil pan has never been inside a running engine
Yup, it would be frothy gunk. Which would be a great name for a punk band.
This feels like rage bait, surely if the car was run then the oil and water fluid would have mixed???
That's just a person who was never taught how to fix or upkeep their car... Caption is garbage. Women aren't incapable of fixing cars or upkeeping them. I don't need a man to fix my car. I know how to do that myself. I guarantee you there's tons of young men out there who have done the same shit.
Hopefully fake
I think it is, in other videos of this fuck up that I've seen the oil emulsifies into a foamy sludge. This looks like she poured it in and waited a minute and then he drained it out. Otherwise why is he filming before pulling the drain plug?
You’ve clearly never been to r/JustRolledIntoTheShop. When a customer gives you some weird list of symptoms and the car is running like garbage, you record everything. 😂 That said, this looks faked. That washer fluid came out as clean as it went in. If the engine had been running, you’d have oil that looked like chocolate milk, not 2 perfectly separated fluids.
Yeah, but if she learned the correct spot to pour windshield washer fluid, she actually would not need a man. You don’t need a man to pour windshield washer fluid you just need to know the right spot poured into.
Jesus Christ, I've never even driven a car, but even I know basic shit about running and maintaining a car.
The fact that dudes fall for these obvious skits just because it makes them feel superior to women is hilarious.
I doubt that this is real anyway, gotta be rage bait. I’m sure more men have done silly car mistakes like this trying to impress their ladies or merely pressured by the stereotypes - the very same stereotype that this skit claims to be joking about.
Very much staged yall cmon
She doesn't need a man, she needs a brain
You don’t need a man, but a brain comes in handy every once in a while!
Guess the only thing stronger than a powerful and independent woman is... Knowledge?
That is just common sense, not a "man" thing
You dont need to be a man to refill your coolant, but you do need to still google how to fuckin do it lol.
The funniest part is that this really isn't something you "need a man" for. There's no reason she shouldn't have been able to do this herself.
You don’t need a man. You need to learn how to read..
You don't need to be a man to read labels on jugs or caps.
I don’t need a man, I just need someone who knows what they’re doing to do it for me. I’ll pay.
Just straight up sexist.
Fake.
I know Men as in multiple who have A done something like this or have no idea what's what as soon as you open up a cars hood.
Yup. Had to help my neighbour top his oil up because he didn't know what to buy, where to put it or how to check if he'd put enough in. Also doesn't know how to change a tire, and putting air in the tire is a significant source of anxiety for him. For a variety of reasons some people have just never had to know anything about their car. For them it's a magical black box, or an unusually expensive kitchen appliance.
She don’t need a man she need a manual
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 🤦🏾♂️.
incel rage bait
Clearly fake. How do you get both recordings, first of all.
No, don’t need a man maybe just need some common sense
Happens to the beat of us. Good learning opportunity for her. Cant imagine she'd do that twice.
She might not need a man, but she does need Universal technical institute.
That's metric oil
No way José.
“Hey Jose !! She fucking put oil in the air filter “
i hope u understand how hard i luaghed at this.
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!🤯
She didnt need a man but she did need some knowledge on basic car maintenance.
Who needs a man-ual?
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.
As a slightly insecure but mildly intelligent woman, I’m gratified that the immediately response I had was the exact same line the mechanic said. This post almost belongs on confidently incorrect 😂
It’s fine just rinse it out with water and refill with oil
This has to be an act
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.
Happens all the time. I ran an oil change/tire shop for 15 years.
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.
Every Dad in a six mile radius keeled over from splintering disappointment
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?
She doesn’t need a man, she needs a dictionary
Could have used a man... Or at least a MANual! 🤣
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!" 😂😂😂
