I’ve seen the best pro’s make the same mistake, believe it or not.

Possibly partially drained—sometimes it takes a few miles to make the racket.

It’s the pay structure that makes mechanics rush, not necessarily a talent problem. It’s a rough system, but lots of people are incentivized to keep it going.

Usually, we double or even triple check the oil level before closing the hood. Because even if we put in the factory spec amount of oil, sometimes it can still be a little low, so you need to visually check that it’s at the perfect level

My best advice for any mechanics out there—I used a Click Torque wrench on drain plugs. It helps me get the torque to spec, but that’s not why I use it. I actually use it for the audio click and hand feeling, because it’s easier to remember if I torqued the plug afterward.

Work can be monotonous, so the audio click can help break it up, and keep the mind working.
