An oil change was attempted, if it wasn't for the coolant reservoir being yellow (Which is, of course, the universal color for oil)...

Careful out there, read the manual and the labels.

I've owned VW, Ford, Toyota, Mercedes, Renault... all of them had yellow wiper fluid caps and black oil caps. What kind of car is this?

Btw: oil is almost always filled directly into the engine main block, not into any kind of plastic container.

I can't think of a single car with an oil JUG under the hood. Oil goes directly into the engine via a cap that has an oil icon on it lol

Brave of you to assume the person in question reasons.
