    yep, that’s what we do too. One time I forgot and slammed the hood down and broke the filler cap because I forgot it was there :ROFLMAO:

    I've been working on bicycles, motorcycles, and cars since the early 70's.... I've done
    a lot of stuff like that.
    Usually because I wasn't paying attention. Or "thought" I had already done something I hadn't.....

    Now that I'm antique, I'm triple checking EVERYTHING! :eek:
    Even a basic oil change, I keep the old stuff in sight so I knew I did it.
    I keep my 5qt jug of oil on top of the engine with the filler cap, just to be sure.
    I've never forgotten to put the oil in, but I had forgotten to drain it!
    Not of my car, a Mercedes. At least I didn't start it! When I check the oil level it was really high
    on the dip stick!

    When rotating the wheels, I put the torque wrench on the floor near the car. :)
