I bring my own oil and filter and have the dealership do it.

no its easy, you just find a jug, throw it in there and set it to the side somewhere, then in a few months you will notice oil on the floor, wonder whats its from and forgot that "oil i was supposed to take somewhere" is now leaking all over.... oh dont lie, you have alllllll done it, wait, maybe that was just me

i bet alan has some oil in his garage as we speak, the poor baby seals...

Alan's not the only seal killer amongst us. I've got a little leak too.

Jeremy, you should make the rounds and collect all of the clubs oil.

Have to agree with that..
Also I draw oil samples for analysis.

Like a lot of other people, I buy the oil and filter and take it to a local shop and let them change it. The charge me $12.

I change it myself when it's > 50 outside. Otherwise I take to the dealer. I hate crawling around my garage floor freezing my @ss off.

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.

I don't bring my own food to a resturant ....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 'paid to play' !!!!.UBCool, jbx

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.
