Its a sad day for me instead of a happy day which i happily took my 325i for an oil change.
To cut long story short, oil filter first removed....and found that the car not align properly which the hoist arms cant load the car in the air.
Here comes the dumbass and STARTed my engine to reverse. Realised engine oil spilled on floor and quickly shut off engine. Whole provess was about 10 sec. for the oil spill to happen.
When hoisted on air, the draining of the remaining oil was like 1 litter or less.
I got so fired up and wanted to chew the iron bar in my mouth for moments....my wife was watching it and my heartbeat almost had a seizure....
When everything got cleaned up, new oil refill and started the engine. Everything sounds normal and quickly took it for a drive if any irregularities. Reach home after covering a 30 km distance and just now left the car idling to check if rpm fluctuates. To my relief, everything looks normal.
But, my worries started filling my mind and run wild if i had caused damages to the engine and or the internal components such as bearings....etc...
I could remember that up to the very last second before the engine was shut off without oil filter, no tapping noise was heard and nothing unusual....
The guy kept apologising and i would hope nothing serious was done to my engine.
So need to ask bros here if i should take note of anything from now onwards. Or should i send in for another check up?
Many Thanks
What a day! :verysad:
