I took my elderly (10 yr old) car in for an oil change last week. The
fellow that was taking care of it told me that the car was making a
clicking noise & that something was wrong with some bearings or
something (gee, don't I know alot about mechanics!) and that he couldn't
change the oil because it would ruin the engine. Since I'm pretty
ignorant about cars, I don't know whether or not this is true. He
immediately followed this info with the name of a nearby garage where
his friend could fix it for me ("Ask for him by name since he's the only
one who'll give you this special deal...etc.").
Maybe he was just being nice & helpful, or maybe he was trying to send
his friend some extra work. Any ideas if changing the oil might really
wreck the engine?
