my worst spill was not in the Benz ether, although the constant oil leaks creates the NEVER rust option.
I was changing the oil in my dads F350. Its an 88 with a 7.3 + the banks turbo kit. anyway, changing the oil he tells me, "you have to let it drain for a while." so I help him with yard work for a few hours and then go back to the truck. I untwist the oil filter and get is all most all the way unthreaded them all of a sudden about a gallon of oil falls on my FACE. the truck is very similar to the Mercedes with the oil cooler lines coming out of the oil filter housing, only instead of the filter being in a tower and coming out the top, it unscrews from the bottom. so the oil cooler dumped on my face!
them my dad says "didn't I tell you, you gotta pop a hole in the filter, thats why I told you to let it drain for a long time" as i'm staning there with oil all over my head and face!
Thanks Dad!
