    Diesel truck dipstick guy. The oil looks light and thin. I'm betting there's a bad injector leaking. Oil pan full of fuel.

      Very good possibility. Or else some D.F. just added WAY too much oil. I've seen it both ways before...

    4:21 Car owner playing with menu settings, not knowing what they are doing, and ended up putting the wipers in "service mode".
    "Service mode" is is there so that a person can change the wiper blades, because they are not accessible, and you can't lift the arms up when they are off and parked under the edge of the hood.

    Easy to fix the wipers....turn car on, use wipers, when wiper is down, shut car off quickly, then shut off wipers with switch, then restart car...NICE belt tensioner on the one video...luckily that one looks very very simple to get too! Too bad they didn't make them all that way!

      Also, that will not fix the wiper issue. They are in "service mode", used to get access to the wiper arms so that one can change the wiper blades.

    Have to admit, I have added too much oil. My oil light came on when I was just going on a five hour trip and I was in a hurry. And I had never added oil before so I didn't know how long it took to drain down and kinda panicked and added some more. But not in the vicinity of that amount.
