Slightly loosen the oil filter cover bolts and let it dribble from the edge of the cover. I wear this gear for oil changes.
It's just shaping up to be a bad day. I never had days like this when the Vespa was the only thing in the garage.
So I ordered the suit on Amazon in preparation for letting some oil dribble out. I've notified the fire department and was told I first need a permit. And to get the permit an inspector has to look at the property. The earliest they can schedule is the day before Christmas.
However, while closely inspecting the oil level window in the bright light of day, sober, clear-headed and grateful to be alive, I see the level is just slightly below the maximum level.
QUESTION: Do I cancel the order for the space suit or do I continue to drain some oil?
