I used to change all the oil myself but the last time, OI charged me $23 to change it, with oil I brought, in 30 minutes while I sat in the lounge and worked. That's a deal to me and isn't worth the hassle.

....and I always change my own oil. This is when I get my oil sample to send in to Blackstone for full analysis and, also, when I take the opportunity to check out things underneath my baby. I want my sig. back

I do my own oil too. However, my buddy's dad owns a Chevron service station so I guess you can say that I cheat since I get to put it up on a lift and use someone elses tools to do it.
What a bunch of yuppies we have in this club. Or would you prefer to be called metrosexuals? I was really disappointed to see how many "enthusiasts" pay to have their oil changed. Please just don't wear your club t-shirt to Jiffy Lube when you do it.
Half of you probably paid to have your clear corners installed too.

I only have about 50 quarts of dirty oil. I have so much now I have to call a service to pick it up. So now I'm just letting it pile up. I have tons of those big buckets from autozone filled up.
