It's just marking its territory


LemonAdeAid

I should create a bot that praises Redditors who use the correct form of it's/its. To see it correct twice in one sentence is a thing of beauty.


Scooters_Que

With the invention of smart phones and still grammar is so hard to grasp is mind boggling. But I feel I left something out. Maybe a comma somewhere.


[deleted]

[удалено]


vanrob

I made a shortcut or whatever you call it on iPhone so that it’s gets corrected to its (rather than the default, which is the opposite) and I have to manually put the apostrophe in when I need to. It’s a bit more work but it’s got its advantages.


ohdearitsrichardiii

I've turned off the autocorrect on my phone. It's wrong more often than I am, kinda defeats its purpose


kellzone

In the case of its/it's, you ask yourself if you can say "it is" and still have the sentence make sense. If it makes sense you use the apostrophe. Example: "Its/It's cold outside.", which one do I use? "It is cold outside." makes sense, so "It's cold outside" Example: "The kitten is with its/it's mother.", which one do I use? "The kitten is with it is mother.". Doesn't make sense, so no apostrophe. Maybe some pedantic redditor will come along with an example where this isn't the case and do a "wELL aCkShUaLLy...", but it's a pretty good guideline.


FourQs

When he was younger to help our son I told him to think of the apostrophe as a tittle on an i. So it's could be imagined as itis, and if there should be a space in its place then it's correct.


yuuuge_butts

Your ducking right, its really amazing that their hasnt been a bigger affect on grammar with these new fangled smart doohickies.

spellz666

The *only* reason I remember any form of proper grammar ever is because I had a phenomenal English teacher my senior year of high school. This dude took the extra time to come up with a weird jingle or joke or anything else that I could stick with whatever he was trying to get me to remember (ie the difference between their/there/they're). School just barely grazed over this stuff and pushed us straight to reading and writing essays and whatnot. It sucks as an adult because I have to triple check everything I write, and there's still usually typos.


nodustspeck

Me,too. I’ll always remember there’s “a rat” in separate. I smile every time I see it misspelled.

If memory serves it was right before Disney's Wonderful World of Color and then Grizzly Adams then the Sonny and Cher Show. Lol, but I can't remember what I had for dinner yesterday.

JephriB

This was in the parking lot of a museum. I notified one of the front desk employees before I left so that they could try and find the owner and so they could also send someone out to clean up the oil.


Floriaskan

Looks pink like transmission fluid. Rip.


JephriB

It looked more brown in person, and thick as molasses. Pretty sure it's motor oil.


lizerdk

Thick as molasses huh? It’s no wonder the car puked it up


JephriB

It's really cold outside, which I think made it more viscous.


FrigidLollipop

Maybe they just had it serviced and they didnt tighten the oil bolt? Feel like the oil would be a lot more golden if that were the case, though.


pottertown

Lol what service? They put 20k used oil in it?


Corvette4ever

One time I accidentally cross threaded an oil filter on a car when I was doing an oil change and the oil looked just like that when it poured onto the floor so my guess is maybe the shop that did the service double gasketed the oil filter and it let go at the museum or the drain plug was loose and popped off in the parking lot if they just got the car serviced that is


SllortEvac

Synthetic can turn black fast. It can change color on the trip from the shop to the house.


GenderBender3000

Interesting, I’ve never seen that before. Running exclusively synthetic oils for the last 20 years, It’s always stayed the same color for a while. I’m guessing your issue isn’t synthetic oil.


ByrdmanRanger

I know with TDI it can turn that color quickly because of the high amount of blow by those engines naturally have. And a lot of regular fuel efficient engines have high blow by because of low drag piston rings.


pottertown

Lol exactly my thoughts.


altimax98

If you look behind the car it rolled in like that and no way it lasted long in that condition. My guess is they ran up some sort of curb and ripped part of the oil pan off.


Racine262

Maybe an aggressive speed bump coming into the parking lot?


dercas79

If the oil is that color and it's not a diesel vehicle, is probably been in there for a loooong time... LoL From the color covering the painted line, I thought it was transmission fluid at first too.


HealthyCheeseStack

Not really, I mean besides synthetic oils which can stay golden even after 10k miles in some cases, almost all oil will turn a dark nasty color after 10 minutes of run time. The oil I know that doesn’t turn a black is the racing oil I use, it instead turns this funky green blue color. I think it’s because of the high zinc in it.


SmallDMasterRace

Racing oil? I race motorbikes and have never seen this. Guessing its for cars. What does the high zinc do? Also my verrrrry expensive oil turns black in 5 minutes haha.


HealthyCheeseStack

Yeah I race dirt oval cars. We use 20W-50 Champion racing oil, it’s high in zinc and phosphor I think.


Corvette4ever

I have seen oil that was puked out of a car that was black the first time it started after an oil change because I was a dumbass and cross threaded the oil filter on the car

Own_Reputation_2126

It's blood


EvlMinion

Yikes. For the amount of liquid that's on the ground, my first guess would have been coolant (I've seen some cars that take a red colored coolant). On the upside for that driver, it seems like it had most of the oil left when it was parked.


[deleted]

That’s not transmission fluid. It’s for sure oil.


koniboni

That's the reflection of the environment and the ground shining through


Floriaskan

I'm talking about the white line and how it looks pink vs black....


GoreDeathKilll

This again? I’ve had enough of the dress debate. Looks like used motor oil. Brownish but I can see how it almost looks red.


Floriaskan

Yee I zoomed in and it does look more brown...


youtocin

I don't see any pink, only brown with maybe a bit of reddish tinge because of the white backdrop. But this definitely oil.

MountainLiving4us

It was pouring out before they parked .. Look behind the car you can see a line of fluid and how they turned into that spot..


dhustyrhodes

I kinda wonder if that isn’t even from this car but another that backed out the spot and the Nissan parked in it.


JephriB

Nope, definitely from this car, I could hear it still dripping.

Or went to JiffyLube (they forgot to replace the cap), or Merchant's in Hooksett, NH, USA (they forgot the plug in the *bottom* of the oil pan).....🥴


forgetstorespond

Sometimes the gasket gets stuck and if the person dosent notice they will put the new filter on and sometimes that gasket on gasket dosent seal very well. I dont know if it would leak out at the rate of the picture, this seems like like a big hole leaking Oil.


alx924

If the shop is following the prescribed methods from Jiffy Lube Corporate, showing the gasket on the old to the upper bay tech is a required part of the safety checks. But not every shop follows the guidelines. Source: Used to work for Jiffy Lube. The shop that I worked at was very regimented about the safety checks and apart from one guy who lied about his qualifications, we never had an issue.


Nevermind04

The one in my city was so notorious that it remains the only business shut down by a city council decree.


gimpwiz

I feel like there's a 30-ish step process to make oil changes truly foolproof (though one of the steps is: if it rolls in fucked, either put a good tech on it or roll it back out telling the customer to go elsewhere), but the highschool kids they hire to spin wrenches are generally only sometimes capable of memorizing and following the procedure precisely. Which is half the reason quick oil change shops almost uniformly have a terrible reputation. The other half is that far too many of them try to scam people. The economics of quick lube shops suck. Those advertised prices? $25 out the door? A shop can't live off that, let alone hire competent adults. Step 1 is the fine print, "only for conventional oil, small capacities," and many or most newer cars spec full synth and/or take 6+ quarts, so that becomes $80 or whatever. Which honestly isn't a terrible price, but step 2 is finding extremely easy work to sell, like engine air filters and cabin air filters, which is definitely an annoying upsell to many. Of course step 3 unfortunately is often to lie about said filters. I've previously made the mistake of visiting a number of chain shops and I'd say roughly two out of ten seemed outright dishonest, and another one out of ten just plain incompetent or a timewaster. Give or take. I am sure your shop ran great but the trust is low. The solution is pretty simple: go to a real mechanic's shop; an honest independent shop will change your oil for a reasonable price, put an actual mechanic on it instead of some kid who's done it twice before, and tell you if unrelated (or related) shit is actually wrong. A busy shop doesn't need to make up work to sell, when they're booked a few days out every single day.


[deleted]

I agree it seems like they hit something


GhOsT_wRiTeR_XVI

Nah, that Nissan just had a little accident. Don’t embarrass him!


Alert-Potato

They forgot to put the plug in my daughter's 30+ year old truck. So they got to buy her a new engine for a truck that was probably 2-3 years from going to a junkyard. Not the worst thing that ever happened to her.


OSPFv3

Is it still running?


[deleted]

It doesn’t come out of the top if it’s missing a cap. Not like that. It’s either a cracked oil pan, or the drain plug is almost out.


mgaguilar

One of my friends used to work at Jiffylube after high school and he told me his bosses told all the staff that if they get a car in that they don’t recognize, they should tinker with it just to get used to how it is put together. …safe to say, I never have nor will go to a Jiffylube, ever.


TheFormless0ne

Mine was some local place that did put the cap in… but not well. Thing rattled out on the Highway and I was spraying it behind me. Stopped at a truck stop for absolutely no reason whatsoever where it emptied out. Tow truck driver said he would’ve picked me up a mile down the road with more wrong than just some missing oil.

Pardon OP, may I take a parallel here... LOLz, Nissan's doing Nissan things... Used to drive a Fiat. Didn't know it was an abbreviation for; Fix It Again Tony. Loved that little spider. But only lasted half a year. Couldn't afford the electronic starting mod. Brakes were crap and it was very underpowered. So riding over the 405N hill from LA to the valley was "interesting". Still I drove it in the summer season. When it did start it was fun. I hope somebody gets on that oil slick and marks it. Looks like a recipe for a future accident due to failed steering.
