    OK, funny is funny, and of course a pretty girl is like a melody, but I can't help feeling it's irresponsible to put out an instructional video that leaves out important steps. I mean, we know better, but not every YouTube viewer is a seasoned Jalopnik.

    Some naive car-owner could see this video and think, "All right, that's how to change the oil!" And then he'd go and follow the instructions as they were shown, and completely fail to lubricate, align and refit the hydraulic connectors to the turboencabulator.

    Whereupon he gets in his car and drives off congratulating himself, and no more than five or ten miles down the road the whole thing just seizes up on him. In fact, if he's on a busy expressway when it lets go, somebody could get hurt or even killed. #citroensm

    Just a few points here:
    1. The oil filter gasket should be removed, hand oiled and reinstalled prior to screwing on the oil filter.

    2. You should never tighten an oil filter with the wrench

    3. Why did they walk away with the hood prop rod, instead of storing it in the engine compartment. You know you're going to need it again.

    4. Loose feathers may get lodged in oil and greasy surfaces, complicating cleanup and potentially leading to mechanical failures.

    5. Constant featherdusting of your car by french maids is a very good thing. #citroensm

    @Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: Tell #2 to the local kids running the oil change place. Needed to switch the oil in a hurry and didn't have the tools for it at home.

    I now have those tools at home and will not go to them ever again. They stripped the oil drain plug and way overtightened the oil filter. #citroensm

    last summer the local Jiffy lube had some hottie in a bikini giving out $20 dollar off coupons at a local festival. She stood out as most of the events were kid oriented (face painting etc.) and blatent sexploitation is very rare.

    So I collect the coupon and a month later go to get the oil changed. Turns out that the well endowed bikini girl is one of the pit grunts.

    I have to change my oil more often... #citroensm

    Must be from French Lick, IN. All the maids I see in Paris appear to be Algerian.

    Can I help them clean up? Thank god I was watching this from the computer in my work test cell.

    Maybe they can come over and help me teach how to fix my test equipment?

    p.s: Jiffy Lube def is not as fun.

    Citroen is normally the last thing on my mind when I consider "French Maids" and "SM". #citroensm

    Yummm. That Dutch front license plate would have to go though, or my Indonesian amis would hate me.
