I was really concerned that my mechanic was going to rip me off. Thankfully he said all I needed was

[Floyd R. Turbo]

turn signal fluid!

[brush]

1. Signal fluid? What is that?

[dhill926]

2. to the best of my knowledge....

a joke...

[Floyd R. Turbo]

3. Turn signal lubricant!

[brush]

16. OMG! This whole thread is tongue-in-cheek and I fell for it.

I got a few good chuckles from the responses though.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

17. Good!

[kacekwl]

49. Kinda like kerosene.

Gotta keep the wick trimmed though.

[unblock]

4. those turn signals generate a lot of friction. use synthetic signal oil, it lasts longer.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

6. Thanks! 👍🏻

[genxlib]

5. Save money

Only do one of them.

Who needs a left turn when you can make three rights?

[Floyd R. Turbo]

7. Good idea! 👍🏻

[unblock]

9. two wrongs don't make a right, but three lefts do!

[Totally Tunsie]

46. That's what works for UPS!

Saves $$$ by not crossing through oncoming traffic.

[House of Roberts]

55. Even easier. Leave the left turn signal on all the time,

like most seniors do. It's the canceling that wears out the switch.

[Suburban Warrior]

8. Which auto shop do you use...

Dewey, Cheatam, and Howe?

[pangaia]

11. got it...

[Floyd R. Turbo]

13. Nyuk, nyuk! 😏

[leftieNanner]

51. Oh.

I miss Click and Clack!

[PoliticAverse]

10. I thought they only used hydraulic turn signals on airplanes. n/t

[Floyd R. Turbo]

14. Apparently not!

[pangaia]

12. First of all, it's called blinker fluid. So I wouldn't trust that mechanic ever again.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

15. He did the blinkers last visit!

[pangaia]

26. Ah. OK, then.

And always remember to have them check the seat belt powder

[Brother Buzz]

18. Some of us differ maintenance and use use elbow grease

[Floyd R. Turbo]

23. Thanks, but you left one out! 😏

[Brother Buzz]

27. You're correct, but I read DU's TOS

[shraby]

19. A left handed monkey wrench will loosen them so you can use the oil in the best spot.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

24. Good tip! 👍🏻

[Glamrock]

20. Word to the wise

Turn signal fluid does not actually go in the turn signal housings. It goes in the flux capacitor. Or, on older models the p42 space modulator. Made that mistake once. Expensive!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

25. Bummer! ✌🏻

[safeinOhio]

21. $200 to fix my

muffler bearing. Was making some noise.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

30. Not cheap! When mine went I had to replace the converter belts! 😢

[safeinOhio]

32. He said my belt was good for

another 10K miles

[Floyd R. Turbo]

38. Lucky you! 👍🏻

[Ohiogal]

37. I'll bet you needed another kind of belt when you heard that estimate!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

39. Night Train!

[nykym]

22. Hope you remembered to change the air

in your tires from winter air to summer air.

[pangaia]

28. I change to snows in the winter. Do I still have to change the air?

Is that why my mileage is so much worse in the winter?

[Floyd R. Turbo]

31. I won't make the mistake of forgetting that again! 😢

[brush]

52. Good one.

[True Dough]

29. Good to hear, Floyd. To every season...

[Floyd R. Turbo]

34. ✌🏻

[Squinch]

33. You can use melted bacon fat for that!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

35. Honest? I've got a can on my stove! Do I have to take the bugs out?

[Squinch]

36. Yes. Strain the bugs. But you can fry those up and use them as a garnee on your bacon sandwiches.

They add a lovely crunch.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

40. Sweet! 😋

[gratuitous]

41. I was helping my buddy with his turn signals

"Okay, are they working now?"

Yeah. No. Yeah. No. Yeah. No. Yeah. No. Yeah. No. Yeah. No.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

47. Need fluid! 👍🏻

[sdfernando]

42. Just be careful because

the turn signal fluid reservoir should only be opened with a left-handed wrench...otherwise you will contaminate the fluid and left turn blinker will never turn off! Trust me, I know this from experience!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

48. Experience is the best teacher! 👍🏻

[brush]

53. Heehee. Love the spirit of this thread. You upped the ante with this one.

[sl8]

43. Dad jokes are the worst.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

57. Ha!

[PJMcK]

44. Well played, sir

That was oily of you.

By the way, do you know where I can get a passenger's side spark plug for the seat adjustment? Thanks, in advance!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

58. You'll need a replacement distribulator! 👍🏻

[Kaleva]

45. did he check to see if you needed relative bearing grease?

[Floyd R. Turbo]

60. That's where I drew the line!

[Donkees]

50. Some mechanics recommend bacon grease

[Floyd R. Turbo]

61. 😋

[leftieNanner]

54. Oh Floyd!

I haven't laughed this much in a while!

Thank you.

And maybe you can help me. I need to get my windshield wipers fixed. They go to the right and then the glass gets all full of rain again. And then when they go to the left, same thing happens.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

62. That's called the fickle flip effect. It's an easy fix as you only need reverse the polarity.

Attach jumper cables to your battery and the wiper blades, turn on the ignition and voila no more worries!

[leftieNanner]

67. Thank you Floyd

Now all of my life's problems have been solved.

Carry on.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

68. My pleasure!

[unblock]

56. what do i do when my windshield wipers are full?

[Floyd R. Turbo]

63. Empty them!

[unblock]

65. The intertubes are so amazing that I can tap into such expert knowledge!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

66. Something ain't it!

[Leith]

59. The Mechanic Diagnosed My Problem

He said I had a screw loose.

Whew!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

64. That's nuts!
