Do you change your oil yourself?

You're one of the coolest chicks ever. You know that?

 

why thank you sir

now when should we schedule your lesson?

 

OWNED!

can i schedule one as well. i can change my own oil but how often does a chick with a truck offer to teach oil changing lessons, sign me up

 

Nope. When I was younger, I did all of my own maintenance. I loved crawling under a vehicle and getting dirty. But, at my age (60 with bad knees) it's something I've lost love for.
I have mine done every 3K. I use a local garage that has been taking care of my vehicles for over a decade.
Once a year I have them give it a good "once over". It costs me about $100. But, in return they give me four twenty-five dollar gift cards. I apply one per oil change and end up paying about $14 per oil change for it.

 

Maaaaajor x2

 

I would do it myself but it's cheaper to have someone else do it. I like to spend my small amount of "free" time with the kids. Drop the truck off and walk across the street for breakfast. When they get older and more independant I'll go back to doing my own oil changes.

 

I would normally do it myself as I have with all my other mobiles, however I get free oil changes for life......without haveing to get all my services done at the dealership....thus most often I just take it in there!

 

Futomo valve $22.00
Synthetic oil and HQ filter $30.00
Not having the dealer monkey touch my truck… PRICELESS.

Last change took 8minutes.

 

I use to change myself but with my 08 purchase I get a lifetime warranty on the drivetrain as long as the dealer always does the oil change.

 

don't trust others under my hood

 

The week after next?

 

I'm to damn lazy I have the dealer change my oil.

 

i'm in college...and too poor to afford to get it done anywhere else besides my driveway...

$90 for a synthetic change is a RIIIP...haha

 

I am too old to be crawling around under the truck and have Express Lube do it every 3500 miles.

 

I do it myself, every August 1st, With the Fumoto valve, Wix filter change every 6 months, I use amsoil, I only travel 11000 miles a year.

 

Ha, I just got a fumoto for the wife's 4runner, love these things.

 

They're great, no mess
