Not for idiots who would make that phone call. I usually end them by saying they can use ice cream (a very tasty coolant) for all I care.

My all time favorite was some years ago. IIRC, the guy on the phone in the parts store fluid aisle had an NV-3500 transmission, which takes a fluid called NV-3500 Transmission Fluid. That's it, that's what it's called. It wasn't ATF or 75-90 or something that you can just grab somewhere. He kept asking "but what kind of fluid is it?" We had an amusing round of Who's on first until he eventually gave up. I left a couple bottles out for the rest of the day in case he came by, but I guess some random fluid was deemed good enough.
