I've done it before, but it's pretty inconvenient for me. Worth it to pay

I like making sure my stuff is tight but not stripped out. I also like knowing my oil was actually changed.

I do it myself because I like doing it. If you don't enjoy it, no reason to do yourself

Lots of reasons. You can ensure quality, you pay less, you can choose the oil

Hard to save money. Walmart practically gives oil changes away, for example

I pay $65-$70 bucks. The shop does it in about 20 minutes. If I make one

Dec 26, 5:25pm

That's fine but that shop doesn't exist where I live.

It takes 45 minutes and saves $50

It totally depends on how much I can get an oil change for somewhere else. Right now we've got a place that does it

You have a car that needs oil changes? Ha Ha Ha!
