I pay jiffy lube like 75bucks to change my oil every 7 to 9000 miles.

I only use Mobile one synthetic oil. Regular oil runs away from heat, but synthetic oil runs toward heat.

$15 and I buy the oil at autozone.

too much hassle to do it yourself

plust you gotta dispose the oil later after doing it. and you get dirty and its dangerous too if you will use just a jack.

New washer

Oil filter ( seal plastics bag to dispose it safety )

cone cup to pour oil into the engine

i do it myself b/c of all the scary stories I've heard from friends going to Walmart or express lube places. Forgetting to put the oil cap or oil filter on, stripping drain plug threads, not changing the oil filter.

Also gives me a chance to get under the car and are what's going on.
