"...Why not do the
oil change yourself?"
----------------------------------------------
Messy
A hassle
What am I gonna do with two gallons of used
oil
Have to buy and store jack stands, a pan and a kreeper
Aluminum
oil pans with steel drain plugs make me nervous
OTOH, its been awhile since I've changed oil myself, and like the tag says under my name, "it's a visceral experience" having the oil run down my arm and pool in the elbow of my shirt. And that smooth feeling as I strip out the threads of the oil pan is something to be remembered. Hearing the crunch of the old oil filter as I destroy it trying to get it off and watching oil flow out of it onto the floor is cool too. Maybe I'll give it a shot, what could go wrong? Hah!
