CAR OIL CHANGE

Ok, got enough courage to try and do stuff by myself now a days, even if i only understand like 20% of what they are saying. So the once easy task of taking my car to Grease Monkey up in Ballard, has turned into a new adventure.

Went into a local place, and of course no one around here speaks English, so better study that Japanese! I asked for an oil change to the lady, and she said it was ok, then all of sudden she was asking all these other questions, such as do you want "element"? I was like what was that, crazy japanese/english words. I know english, but i dont know how it refers to cars. After a couple minutes of dumbfound looks, finally settleled to just get a regular oil change. Guess later i will have to figure out what this element thing is. In the end they were very nice, even changed the sticker on my window, which deals with car "shaken". So got the car running nice and good again, just another day, and another adventure.
