I went to empty my oil pan today...
I missed my oil catcher...
It’s easy to say that one can figure out the rest...

That's a bummer.
I once forgot to put the drain plug back in and poured 7 quarts of brand new Mobil 1 through the 4Runner engine and onto the floor of my garage. That was fun.
Went through two rolls of good paper towels, what a waste is all I was thinking...
Next few days will be dedicated to cleaning it up I suppose

A picture of the aftermath would have been appreciated! How are the rest of us supposed to learn from your mistake if we don't have a true understanding of what happened. I feel that a picture would have been beneficial in this regard! Just saying!

What could possibly be in these 2 crates that came from far away lands? We will soon find out.....

I didn’t take many pictures at the moment because I was frantically cleaning. Plus my hands were a bit oily.
On instinct when I realized what was happening I plugged the drain hole with my thumb.
That didn’t do anything haha
Here’s about half of the aftermath and here’s a little comparison on dirty vs cleaned up using that solution.
Everything north of that crack in the concrete looked like the stain. Was able to clean that up. Just gotta get around to the remainder of the stain. Then I’ll power wash it...
you live and you learn so I’m told.
Oh and those fresh damp marks are water not oil
Also found a few moments to remove my VC

Going over the Troopy for the South Western 70 series social and some roaming around Death Valley and the Mojave, I repaired a spring plate/shock pin (the threads of the shock pin were completely stripped out), tightened up a few loose body mount bolts, greased and lubed everything.

What month is your 88? I see you have a red block, just curious of the production date.
It looks like November of 88, correct me if I’m wrong
Edit: October of 86 is the right answer

October 1986.
Thanks for the correction. How do I figure that out?
Run the VIN on an electronic catalog. JDM vehicles do not have production dates affixed.
Oh, if your title states 1988 year model the vehicle is titled incorrectly.

10-1988 actually. 11-1988 would be the import month most likely.

That makes sense. It's a blue block 13bt. I'm still trying to figure that VIN number out. It just doesn't make sense to me.
