50 points to being a real man, apparently...

Don't they sell them pre split so idiots don't have to do it in the freezer?

[damduck-egg]

Or like a teacher at our school despite having numerous letters in his signature which indicated his academic ability unscrewed the cap,found it a bit dark inside and flicked his lighter to illuminate it. Fortunately got away with a singeing of eyebrows and other facial hair.

Snap.

Noted the William Hill bias.

Now, what it the status of a woman who can ace this quiz?

If that makes her a real man, then does that mean that you are having sex with a real man?? ;-) If so, do you care?

It is a wise precaution, as it avoids oil starvation at start-up.

In the ones I know, you poured it into the central hole in the thread, put your finger over that as you brought the cartridge into position, then quickly removed it as you lined the thread up with the hole in the engine block. A bit of oil would escape, but most of it would stay inside the cartridge.

[dennis]

They haven't used cartridges like that for years AFAIK. They are all in one things that screw onto the filter mount these days. In fact they were like that when I used to service my own more than thirty years ago. You used to bash a screwdriver through them to get them off if you didn't have a suitable strap wrench. You could screw them on by hand.

[Dave Plowman (News)]

It still makes sense to fill a new filter with oil when changing it.

[Dave Plowman (News)]

Interesting you consider them manly virtues. I'd hope they'd equally apply to a woman. Or more simply any decent person.

[Nightjar]

That was an all-in-one unit that screwed into the mount. In fact, the only difference I can see from the images I've checked on line is that the hole is more likely to be in the cartridge than in the engine block. You would just need to be a bit quicker at fitting the cartridge if you can't block the hole with your finger.

I did think about that when I wrote it. But I just let it go.

No, the dipstick hole is still as narrow ;-)

Ha! You wish! Never the same after childbirth, or are we talking about the same thing?

1. Not married, but I remember the date of our first shag. It was on the night our first date and England won 1-0 against Paraguary that night
2. Could do - never have done
3. Change a tyre? Can do but I normally use the spare wheel
4. Once a month. Just ignore her for a week.
6. Pretty good at that
7. The talent is in getting it stuck
8. It's her job
9. Yes - I saved a pet rats life with CPR

Apparently you have to have a smartphone and app it, because it inlt gave me about 30 question in my browser. However (pending completion) I am a real man, apparently.

But what I really wanted to say was: (a) Love your point No.8 Adam, and (b) thanks for the link to the bone.me site: perfect (though of course it needs updating with references to other friends beside or ahead of you in the queue, and whether or not they grab the purse for you).

(I am curious about the question No.45 in the real man quiz - I never saw it. I can guess though.)

Wonder if Adam scored before or after England.
