I don't have a picture of it, but, unless they recently took it down, there was a sign on the PA Turnpike westbound at Bedford which says "Next Exit 36 Miles" (to Somerset).
I was in Advance Auto Parts today picking up a bottle of tire shine I wanted to try out, I overheard a funny interaction.
Woman walks in:
W: How do I buy oil?
Clerk: What kind of oil do you need?
W: Just oil
C: There are a lot of different kinds....what kind of car is it?
W: Its a Lexus....sedan...
C: Which model Lexus and year?
W: Its a sedan
C: They make a lot of different sedans
W: Its a three hundred thirty...2005 year
C: Oookay....looks like it takes 5W30.
W: I also need one of those triangle things (and she makes a triangle with her hands)
C: Triangle thing?
W: To pour the oil
C: Oh....a funnel...are you changing the oil or just topping it off
W: Adding oil
He goes to help her get the oil. I can't imagine what hole she is going to pour that oil into, and how overfilled that engine is going to be lol

Since you live in PA, you might (?) have seen it.
Yes - Somerset is Exit 110; Bedford it 146. But there are service areas between those exits at MM 112. I have been there, but that's over 200 miles from where I live.

Kudos for her for actually making an attempt to take care of the issue herself..... My neighbor was shocked I knew how to add washer fluid.

Thats certainly one way to look at it lol. I'm hoping the guy went out and helped her, he asked if the car was there...she didn't seem to know if it was...

Haha! I have a customer with a 2014 Camry with the usual 80k mile rapid oil consumption and I told her check it so we can monitor the rate......she had no idea how and checked it with engine on and freaked out it was off stick. I had to walk her through how to check oil!
My wife just texted me from Staples, a woman in front of her in line is using a calculator to double check what the employee is ringing up. Apparently its a full moon out there!
That woman with the oil, I'd love to be there the first time she hits her windshield washers and sprays oil on the windshield LOL
So glad for carry laws. This crazy person was accosting everyone at the gas station (in the really, really nice part of town where you're not used to this)......
He accosted my spouse while getting gas in the Mercedes, I almost yelled out the polite but dead serious verbal warning ("back off..I'm armed"). And he was freaking everyone out inside apparently, the cashier was talking about hitting the panic button. Guess there is a full moon out there.

Makes me nervous since I'm picking up a car in the bad part of town soon....

Just do it in broad daylight and maybe bring a friend and you should be fine, but I hear ya. It's bad out there. The homeless have made it all the way back to the lake...and this guy was reallllly weird and was freaking everyone out. This was a gas station that I have left my car running at before while running inside, never again.
My business partner was at a client of ours house in DC the other day, really nice part of upper NW, $1.3M house. Be was inside for 20 minutes and came out to his window shattered and his briefcase stolen (laptop etc). Broad daylight, warm day with people walking around. He has a huge Silverado ZR2 and it was due. In the passenger footwell, so it wasn’t easy to see or anything like that. Crazy. Crazy times out there.
It's wild out there.. I lived in NorCal, San Jose area lived just behind some stores. Daily I would witness some cat run down the streets with a case of beer and a second guy either following him or chasing him. Usually the same guy stealing, different guy chasing.
Any way, long ago Canadian F/A-18 squadton came to visit a SoCal base while I served. They felt it was an easy straight shot through the desert to their barracks (living quarters). They made it 5 feet off the road, lol.
