Default Synthetic oil only

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.

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.

Hydrualic jack ( get one that can hold over 2 tons )

2 x 4 wood to choke the rear tire

engine oil

couple socket and rachet

and Owner's honda manual come handy

New washer

Oil filter ( seal plastics bag to dispose it safety )

cone cup to pour oil into the engine

Oil pan

Paper towel

Seat roller (optional)

Honda civic's owner manual come handy

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.
