Maintenance Tip...important!!!

In case ya'll didn't know this, be forewarned, this is important stuff.  If you're not aware, when changing the oil, you must install the drain plug BEFORE you attempt to add oil.   :duh:

Tip #3 be sure the oil filter is on & tightened down before starting the engine, too.  :lol:
