Changing Oil

[ahh 33 s2]

well yesterday i was doing an oil change and when i removed the filter i spilt alot of oil so i attacked it with degreaser. how ever i hadnt put the sump bolt back in and it was all dripping down underneath. well as i was putting the bolt in i felt something drip on my face and run into my ear. at first i didnt do anything about it although i did realise it was a mixture of oil and degreaser. about 10 minutes later after filling the motor up and going inside to give my ear a clean and a flush out i was in the most excruciating pain i have ever experianced. i rush my self to the doctor told them what happened. i was lucky to not have had the degreaser eat away at the inside of my ear, i was in pain for about 3 hours now i am feeling semi deaf and have swollen ear drum and canal. and it was the most expesive oil change i have done. doctors are cheap after hours... so try avoid getting oil and degreaser in the ear.

My god, I've never heard of degreaser being so nasty, had it drip on my face before.

Hopefully there is no permanent damage.
