You sure about that?
The reason that it took so long to pour in was probably because the oil had to flow through the oil pump while it wasn't moving.

Yes he is sure. The oil flows through the filter and then back into the oiling system after being filtered. The oil will drain down into the pan after a while. As long as there is not a pond of oil on the floor, your good.

How so..?

Learn to elaborate, it's a wonderful thing.

Saying stupid **** without elaborating just makes you look stupid, I mean anyone can do it.. but when you give a reasonable explanation it might be different.

He made a mistake and trusted a person he knows well to take care of something valuable to him. That person has no idea what he was doing and instead of asking him a question he assumed he was doing it right. The only thing I would have done different was staid there until it was all finished. Live and learn. No Harm no foul.

I think what he meant was that you don't seem to know very much about changing oil yourself. Not a big deal, but if I didn't know 100% how something worked, I wouldn't be teaching anyone. Now you know how it works, so you're good for next time.

First off, I know how to change oil.

Second, I taught nothing wrong. I explained it and when he tried it, he made a simple mistake.
