I was putting oil in my truck and I heard a noise before I could stop and look a penny went in my oil. There is another penny and a quarter in the bottle. What do I need to do?

Take the right hand valve cover off (the one you poured oil into) and remove the penny before you ever start the truck.

How in the world did 2 pennies and quarter get in the bottle - I assume you mean the bottle of oil.

Do you have semi-young kids in the house?

Terrible way for an oil company to give a rebate.
