The History Of The Pennsylvania Oil Boom And Petroleum Industry

I got an oil change then when I got home I noticed there was smoke coming up from under the hood. I checked under the hood but can’t tell where the smoke is coming from. My brother said they probably just spilled some oil and it’s burning off. But this has never happened to me after an oil change. Could it really be just some spilled oil or could they have messed something up?

you should check that all of the caps to the oil, water, screenwash etc are firmly on because it could just be that a cap is off and as the engine heats liquid comes out of the top of the engine where it isnt sealed properly. if not it is proberly just some spilt oil or something.
also when it does it again check your engine temperature because if they have used the wrong oil, it may cause the engine to run too hot and therefore it wil smoke

people always talk about Global warming this and pollution that
Gas ran engines produce some of the most CLEAN breathable air on Earth

every time I smell an exhaust pipe of a GAS ran car
it reminds me of fresh air sprinkled with daisy’s

Voters why do people pick on the good and kind Oil industry?

And our good friends in the coal industry, too! And the chemical industry, worldwide!

Yuppers, our loyal pals and good buddies!

You’ll notice, by GOD, none of the good ol’ boys of semi-literate right wing hate, the ones called
"the three stooges"–they NEVER have a bad word about those folks, even when gas hits, say, $3.85 a gallon. Nope…that was Obama’s fault. So what if he wasn’t elected yet?

And we need more spokespeople for the insurance industry, too. Well, never mind. We already have the Republican Party.

Next week: Goose stepping to the oldies! That’ll be more the more athletic neo-Nazis.

I did an oil change on my Aunt’s van yesterday. When I refilled the oil, I put in about 5 quarts of oil. When I poured the old oil back in the container, it was only about 4 quarts. Now when I check the oil dipstick, it reads above the full mark. Can I drain some of the oil from the engine by loostening the drain plug, or do I have to drain the whole thing and then refill it again?

You can freely drain a bit of oil out if you don’t mind to get very dirty. Just take care that if you drain out too much oil, you don’t pour the same oil back in on the top. (Reason: the oil in sump contains all the dirt that assembled there and hasn’t been cleaned yet. When you pour in in the engine, you do it immediately on the valve mechanism…)

If you mind getting dirty, then you find out a petrol station or something similar, where they have a special pump to suck out the oil from the engine.
They use it when you pay for the replacement of the oil only, not also the oil filter, so they don’t have the need to raise the car on the car jack, but do everything from the above – suck the oil out and pur the new one in.
And of course they can suck only 1 quart, not everything.

My daughter had on slippers with soft soles on them and slipped on the stairs and fell all the way down the steep stairs it went BOOM BOOB BOOM and she got hurt pretty bad awww…

LOL
Different from all of you .
Being deaf a BOOM is a vibration to me , The worst ones are me hearing LOUD boom cars " music stereos " that send shivers down my spine .
BOOM noises i make are really all inside my ears as DEAF is not silent . The noise inside my ears often sounds like a Bass Drum *smiles
happy eve , dear friend

I have been searching for a list of the deepest oil wells ever drilled (either in USA or world) and haven’t found any good lists.

I don’t know how deep but the north sea is the place to look…

I have a 1981 Ford F-100 6cylinder truck. It seems to have an oil leak somewhere above the oil filter which is on the drivers side. I wiped the outside of the filter clean, then drove the truck for less than an hour. When I parked it back in the yard and popped the hood the top of the oil filter was totally splattered with oil. The whole bottom end of the engine is oily. It does not leak so bad that I can visually spot where its coming from.

Anyone know of any high tech engine sealants or additives that I can add to the crank and try?

Hi,

I would start by replacing the oil filter. I think you might have a damaged seal on the filter. You can fill the filter on the bench with new clean oil, lube the sealing ring and screw it on after cleaning up the oil around the suspect area. I cannot recommend a fix in a can for oil leaks. There are quite a few downsides to such products in my opinion. You risk clogging a key oil passage and may cause more damage to the engine than resolve your problem.

Good luck

This is not a solicitation. I am just curious about the interest level.

Apparently not, judging by a total lack of answers after 2 days.

did not tap the nations oil reserve to control oil price spikes. Any truth in that ?

Is there credible evidence that Bush was more concerned withmaximizing the profits of big oil than he was with acting in the best interest of America ?
Hmmm speculators "get out" when the future runs out, or they have to actually deliver or buy physical oil, so it cant be just the speculatours.

Depends on who you ask.

ask a democrat and they’ll say "yes that was his only concern-no more war for oil"

ask an American and we’ll simply regard that question the way it should be regarded. as nothing more than tabloid slander.

I’ve recently recieved a custom-made katana (Japanese Sword) from a very trusted company. Anyway, it’s blade is made of a stainless steel instead of high carbon steel, which most swords are.Their sword care guide said that most swords come with a coating of oil to protect it during transport. Mine didnt. And they also said it didnt need any oil covering, because of the type of blade. I was wondering if someone could elaborate on this? Also, there is a coat of sword-care powder that accidently got underneath a coat of Choji oil(special oil for swords) and now it has dried on there. On that same guide, though, it specifically states that when you recieve the sword with oil coating, you can remove it using lacquer thinner or mineral spirits. Would there be some sort of different solvent to use because of the type of blade? And where would be the best place to find mineral spirits, anyway? Thanks alot for anyone willing to help.

~M.D.

As far as the reason for not needing the oil on the stainless steel blade it;s because stainless steels contain chromium. This chromium in the alloy prevents oxidation from occurring, meaning it doesn’t rust. The reason for the oil used with the high carbon blades is to prevent oxygen from coming into contact with the blade which would cause it to oxidize. The stainless steel blade will not suffer any damage from using mineral spirits or lacquer thinner on it. They can be purchased at any hardware store, lacquer thinner can also be purchased at any auto parts store as well.
