My subaru has the oil filter on top of the engine. It's nice not having hot oil run down your arm.

Even if it's a bitch to change I wouldn't trust some dumbass lube tech to do it correctly.

Also, now i always ask that once its drained, they let me pour in the new oil as they always overfill it for some reason

But I saved like £50 in someone else's labour, and I get to keep the tools I bought. Next time, I might be able to do it without buying tools.
I sure as hell won't need to buy oil; I had no idea how much it took, and bought two gallons just in case. It took one, so I have another spare.

>>15503397
You DO change the filter yearly, right?

I have not yet figured out how to take care of old oil, though, so it sits in the garage in old oil bottles for now, with the used cooking oil.
Maybe I'll just ask my friendly local mechanics if they can just tip them into their waste oil tank.

They made it so easy to change the oil on my car, in my dads 90s honda shit was super difficult

I just pay my mechanic $30 to do it. I don't have time and don't really care to do it myself. I'd rather spend that time on other things.

Now if your power steering decides to leak which it will you better hope you have long ass box wrench in 14mm or converted to electric fans or you will kill yourself. Also that if you have said leak you have to get a 200 dollar alternator which you will also at the same time learn to catch a baby since that's how you get the fucker out.

But routine maintenance is easy as fuck. Even easier to work on than my civic.

19KB, 600x576px

>>15506958
Tip 2

My 2010 Ford Escape is a joke to change oil, the plug and filter are right next to each other. I buy the best synthetic and the best filter for 25 bucks total. Any oil shop around me in Cali would charge at least 75 for all that, plus I have the satisfaction knowing I don't pay someone else to take care of my vehicle.

>>15503397
This isn't an issue as long as you change the filter every 3k miles. You really should fix your shit, though.

>>15506752
Fumoto valves are fairly popular. You just have to worry about it sticking too far down and getting ripped off by road debris.

And FYI for any Americans, any store that sells oil has to take used oil for free. I buy mine at Walmart and return it to O'Reillys.

You'd have to be both physically/mentally retarded if you really had that difficult of a process changing the oil.

I'd rather pay $30 for 5qt synthetic oil off the shelf and do it myself then have Pablo at Jiffylube for $90+ more.

>>15507895

>difficulty

it's not difficult, it's a waste of fucking time

why would i change my oil myself when i can have a dealership change it with oil *specified by an engineer* and establish a paper trail

Not only do you sound unfit for any sort of physical work, like for example opening a jar or jam, but
>they checked the air pressure, the transmission fluid, the coolant, the a/c levels, the c/v joints, the brake pads
Yeah, no. Maybe if you found a cool shop with so few clients they can take the time to do extended checks on your car, it ain't happening.

I would have given you maybe trans fluid level, coolant level and CV joints but that's it. They're not going to touch the wheels, and they're sure as shit not going to touch the AC system. For starters it would require to have the engine running to have AC pressure, which you probably don't want to be doing when the oil is out of the engine.

>>15507901
This.

Unless it's a hobby car that you want to tenderly love every second of the day, giving a fuck isn't necessary. I'll leave oil changes and stuff like that to mechanics who do it all fucking day for years and who have the right tools and oil ready to go.

i go to a dealership, this is done literally every time i go in

going to a dealership for oil changes is like buying good toilet paper. it's expensive at first but it keeps those delicate bits protected

i change my own brakes, my own filters, probably my own CV joints or wheel bearings if need-be, just because all of those are jobs that need to be done once or twice in 10 years, but oil changes are for the birds

What do you do, put it around your hands? Is it for the filter? Never had a problem with gloves and a catch pan. You can loosen and remove the filter on my car from the top, even though it's actually on the bottom.

>>15507901
>specified by an engineer

you mean mobil-1 synthetic or whatever the fuck is in the drum as long as it's the right viscosity

This is autistic shit that doesn't actually matter 99.9% of the time. The manufacture knows people are going to use aftermarket brands and different viscosity grade oil based on climate.

>>15508034
It takes maybe an hour of your time. If you are super rich and have more money than time then outsourcing is fine for you. But you still have to drive to the shop, get a ride back home, go back and pick it up which could cost you even more time in the long run as well as more money

>>15508046
No really, all they engineer for is the viscosity. Look at your owners manual. Does it recommend a specific product? Does the OEM post notices when that product is discontinued or changes because they had to re-test to find the new golden oil? No. They only care about viscosity and full synthetic vs. not.

1: It's more expensive.

2: You'll spend more time going to and from the shop and dropping off/picking up the car and paying the man than you will manhandling the filter, drain plug, catch pan, and oil jug. In most cases, you'll just sit around at the shop instead of hoping your friend will want to, or be able to, get your car ASAP. Maybe his car is going to break down that day? Don't count on it not dying.

I can reach the drain bolt without jacking up my miata.
I can undo the oil filter without a tool.

Honestly. This is more or less the same with any vehicle I've owned, with the exception of my GSF250 bike. 3 bolts right behind the headers and it's spring loaded, drips onto the headers no matter what. Still takes 2 minutes to get everything off and let it drain.

No vehicle I have ever owned has taken longer to change the oil than it would take to drop it off at a mechanic to do it.

What do you faggots do when you pay someone to do this for you in the interim?
