^ Screw that! If I had to change the oil, didnt have a garage, and it was 100+ degrees in the driveway...I would just take it to a shop and pay the $15. Let them sweat it out while I relax in the air conditioned waiting room.

It's not the heat it's the humidity. I feel bad for the people in Chicago, not used to what I grew up with in Houston. They stopped going to the lake because the FOG wouldn't let them see. Fog = 100% humidity at 97+ degrees ouch.



P.S. we're at 38 days 100+ this year, forecast 104 for Sunday

Yesterday it was 108f (w/humidity) in Ottawa Canada! Yes CANADA! My Igloo melted! lol j/k. I was wiring an a/c yesterday outside at work and my forearms were sweating! Not to mention the steady stream of sweat dripping off my head and face! I called my boss at 2pm and told him I was going home. He didn't argue.
