It’d take a while to list the problem points a mechanic lists while showing the many ways an oil change can go wrong. From almost no oil showing on the dipstick, to oil so dark the mechanic compared it to "Willy Wonka's chocolate river," to broken plastic pieces littering the filter housing, it was a job that’ll be tough to forget.
The clip from creator @wrenchboss_nj, which has been viewed more than 32,000 times, starts with concern since it appears the Dodge Durango may have gone more than 7,000 miles since its most recent oil change. As someone familiar with different engine setups, the mechanic wasn’t thrilled at the prospects for the job awaiting him.
“These engines do not, and I mean do not like long oil change intervals,” said of the 3.6-liter Pentastar engine. “We're at 67,810 (miles) and the oil change sticker says 60,000. That is not, not ideal under any circumstances with these vehicles.”

The unease increased when he checked the engine's oil level before draining the crankcase. The dipstick appeared to show very little oil remaining, prompting a double-take.
