For basic stuff like oil change and stuff....

The only vechile i actually followed the oem schedule was for my bmw m3 but it was free..

everytime i go get an oil change frommy dealer it take 3-4 hours compare to the local grease monkey..

 

I change my own oil at home. It is a pain if you don't have a jack and/or you aren't a small person! First oil change was a b***h, the filter and drain plug felt like they had been welded on!

 

I have always done my own oil changes. I like to put mobil 1 in all my vehicles.

 

well used to do that, back when i had the time and place..lolol

i miss doing my own things... even cleaning my own car

 

Do my own with Mobil 1. Gives me a chance to see if anything is going on on the greasy side.

 

My dealer knockes it out in about 20 minutes if you have an appointment.

 

in my garage. i don't trust anyone i work for a parts store and seeto many ****ty mechanics.
i use mobil 1 oil filter and redline oil. i will be changing out the tranny oil out soon and replacing it with redline.

 

Must be nice!
I have no flippin clue how to change my oil! I can install my intake and my exhaust but that's about it!
HAHAH
I'm pathetic!

 

If you can install an exhaust and intake, you can change your oil. All it takes is removing the plug, draining the oil, removing filter, install filter, install plug and fill with oil. That easy...

 

I use a local jiffy lube type place. I ask the guys to treat it good and I'll shoot him an extra couple of bucks. 2 guys working on mine get $5 each. They know me well now with all my cars so they're good to me. I also ask to see the dipstick, drain plug and filter before butooning it all up. All goes good and I'm in and out.
