You can afford a Bentley and try to save on oil changes?? On it's face, that is absurd! Cheap is cheap and what you reap is what cheap reaps!

I was not trying to change the oil. I purchased two 285/30/22 tires for the front end and had a blow out on the passengers side. When I looked at the drivers side it was also cracking and ready to blow out as well. I decided go to a friends to get a floor jack and bring the tires to another friends shop where he would meet me and mount two 305/25/22 tires on the wheels for me. This is all happening on a Sunday in a city with ZERO 285/30/22's and no shops open to help me. I got lucky my friend had two new in stock of the 305 size and was willing to open up afterhours to mount on the wheels for me. That was my only option or else I would have towed it. Nothing but haters out there, I was asking for advice, not useless responses. I cracked the oil pan with the floor jack because i was inexperienced with the Bentley fram being so close to the pan, even the jack stands have to be carefully set in order to avoid any weight on the pan or it catching the corner of it. Long story short, I wish there was at least an even amount of open minded helpful people out there, but instead it is 1 out of 3 that actually tried to help and not focus on unnecessary self gratification. Thank you G A. The other 3, if your ever in Vegas look me up, I would be eager to help sway your hater mentality towards a more helpful and considerate demeanor
