    Who here still changes their own oil?

    I use Amsoil 0w-40. I also put in a magnetic drain plug and a magnetic wrap around my oil filter. It works fantastic. Always go the extra mile with your oil and filter!

    Not me, the most valuable skill my father taught me is that you can pay people with valuable skills to do them.

      When the oil is expensive, they often put in the cheap stuff and charge you for the synthetic

              Technically i should but when it comes to my car i'd put more faith in the mechanic i've known for years to do those jobs than myself...

                Personally, I quit.

                When I was younger, broker and only owned one vehicle I did.

                Now I own a fleet of roadside service vehicles and various personal vehicles in my household.

                Fuck all that. Mechanic on the payroll keeps it all good.

                Even if I got out of the roadside service industry and just kept personal vehicles, I ain't doing it no more. Jiffy lube got me.

                  ...You just put an oil drain thing under the pan, unscrew the bold, smoke a bong while it's draining, unscrew the filter and screw in the new one, screw in the bolt, then fill it up with oil. It's the easiest car maintenance that you can do.
                  For the money you save, you can get a bag of weed for the whole week. (Or like a day if you're me..)

                    Does magnetic wrap for oil filter really help?
                    BTW - magnetic oil plug is really good indicator if there are troubles with an engine, having that for 3 years and really satisfied!

                      I service our 4 cars myself. Did brake pads and a fluid flush yesterday to get ready for a track day this week.

                      Doesn't help that all the good shops in my area have 4-6 week waiting lists.

                            You can if you're creative enough. I couldn't put power steering fluid in my VW once because it was dealership only, but found a way to rig a pump bottle to do it.

                            Also, I thought I had to take my VW to a dealer to get an oil change before, but it was just a big plastic thing that I had to remove to get to the filter.

                              I do not. For $40 a local car wash does it, replaces my air filter, and details my car. Can't beat that.

                                  Yes, I cut one open and there were tiny particles on the filter housing. It traps the ferrous metal that fits through the filter. I’ll find a link to what I use.

                                    I would too, but my oil is so expensive and no garage carries it. So I’d have to purchase my own and bring it there, and they still charge the same price. Also a good time to lube the chassis bushings and hit the ball joints with the grease gun.

                                    Most mechanics are good, but none will treat your car the way you will. I learned that the hard way

                                      Did that on my 500 mile oil change on my hellcat and my demon. It’s really the only way you can prove a manufacturing defect and not customer negligence

                                              I'm disappointed in anyone who doesn't at least know how to change their own oil, tire, sparkplugs, or batterie.

                                                Or spell battery?

                                                      Unless it’s ford triton v8. Impossible to change plugs. They seize in the aluminum head and need to be helicoiled

Then you open the hood and take off the fan housing and underneath one of the fans is the filter. Not too hard and you'll save a lot, dealerships charge like $500 for that.

                                                                                          Also, I thought I had to take my VW to a dealer to get an oil change before, but it was just a big plastic thing that I had to remove to get to the filter.

Get a nice sense of accomplishment doing it yourself too. I just did an engine swap in my garage as well
