Changed my own oil today!! Easy!

[AUDIOGUY]

I was fed up with the logistics of getting my car in for an oil change and decided to do it myself. If you have a lift and some tools, this is very easy. I did run into a snag. I am guessing last time I had the oil changed, the shop cranked the drain plug in super tight. I had to tap it with a hammer and then just about stripped it getting it out. Even with the right allen socket, it was still touchy. I couldnt buy another today on Saturday, so I decided to deal with replacement next year when the time comes. I am fairly sure that it will come out as I torqued it properly this time.

Anyway, it pays to have a lift and oil drain bucket. There is a ton of oil in that sucker. You must have a filter wrench to get any traction on the filter cover. The car took just about 9 qts to register full. Price for the filter, Mob 1 and washer was about $98.00. I dont think I will be paying the $225.00 for this anymore!

Cheers!
