Oil change worth it?

yes changing your oil is a meme, you have been redpelled

>>16311711

>>16311711
I do it because I'm a mechanic and I do shit like that all day so it's like 5 min for me. and have a place to dispose of it

i've tried to argue this a bunch of times.

i own a 2012 civic lx, there is no point in me changing my own oil. if i have service records of synthetic oil for the life of the car, it increases the resale value, so i do. plus it's so nice to drop it off, wait an hour, and then pick it up with fresh oil and no extra labor on my part

now, if i had something custom-built, i'd change the oil myself.

>>16311711
Nope. It's not worth it. The only thing you should do is change the oil out for antifreeze during the winter so your engine won't stall due to cold.

I used to occasionally get my oil changed at places, mostly because of time

when I was able to change my oil and realized they put the wrong filter on that was half the size and I had to use a breaker bar to remove the bolt...fuck that, I'll make the time now

>>16311747
fuckin' REKT!

How is it not worth it.. It takes 5 minutes of actual work including jacking the car up.
Driving to the shithole to get your oil changed takes longer than that.

Anyone who doesn't change their own oil because it's "not worth it" probably doesn't even own a jack.

Did it for my E46 since it was fucking $100 - $110 to get it done anywhere (hurr synthetic, hurr it's a furrunn impurrrt).

Now I just got a Mustang that uses synthetic as well...I usually use ramps but I may buy one of those pneumatic pumps and do it that way.

a civic is like the easiet car to change the oil on; you could be done in 15 minutes.

but instead you wait an hour for someone else to do it?

I hate doing it OP.

As >>16311832 said, I do it myself because there are too many stories of quick lubes charging for the service and not actually performing it, whether it's not even touching the car or not replacing the filter or draining the oil and forgetting to refill it.

The only time I ever took my car to a Jiffy Lube, they charged me $50 for something that would have cost me $20, and it took two guys with a flashlight 15 minutes to find the filter. This was after I all but drew them an actual physical map describing where it was. (Buick V6 in a Pontiac Trans Sport, the filter is on the "back" of the engine, facing the firewall.)

I felt that it was worth the money spent, since I pissed myself laughing at them from the waiting area.

Use cat litter. Spread it on any oil spill, leave it for 10 minutes or so, sprinkle a bit more on if necessary and sweep it up. Works like magic!

>>16311929
>Wow that's pretty low. What a bitch
No, because a lot of people deliberately do NOT change oil in their own property. They make a mess elsewhere and don't clean it up. They then toss the filter and milk container jug into the alley trashcan.

That is the pattern. So it's no wonder the jogger snitched. She probably thought it was just another one of those situations.

My old family home had a nice alleyway. And we had a large gate and paved area outside our fence too. Then people started parking their cars there and changing their oil leaving a mess for us to clean up. Of course they do it when we are not watching. So people do dump their mess into other peoples' hands. And I bet they didn't dispose their used oil properly. They prolly threw it into the trash containers in the alley. Someone else's of course so that they get the fine if the trashman is alert enough to catch it.

>>16311711
I change my own, because of a few reasons.

First is I like doing shit myself.

I like the peace of mind knowing it was done exactly right.

It's a great opportunity to be underneath my vehicle for a while, check out everything, underisde of motor for any new or worse leaks, check out bushings and ball joints, rust, etc.

I also use a mix of oils, I run a quart of diesel oil with 3 3/4 standard oil, 1/4 quart of ATF, with a zinc additive because old smallblock with a flat tappet.

>>16312187
>>16312491

I'd put those ugly fucks in the back too, when you "accidentally" get rear ended you're ahead 3 points in life, 2 less rotted sperm spawns and 1 less overpriced RC car

Local shop by me charges 30$ for oil changes and it's the same fuckin oil I bought when i was doing it myself. Have fun "wrenching" your shitboxes all under the guise that you're actually proud of your 82 iroc z with redneck cum on the seat headrest from 3 owners ago

I took my car to a vavoline because I had a coupon for an oil change. My car wasn't "in their system", it's a 1995 Impala. I just went and got oil and a filter at Advance Auto Parts for 18 dollars and did it myself in 15 minutes.

>>16311994
>I went to college to avoid manual labor

I have a master's degree from Stanford and I change my own oil. Please don't conflate not HAVING to do it yourself with not WANTING to do it yourself. For some of us, it's a nice way to zen out.

>>16312935
No you don't

>>16312187
I would hate to be driving behind a car with their kids in the back just staring at me the entire time.

Its a frozen hellscape outside and I don't have a garage so no I typically don't

>>16311711
The crushing your head bit is the only part of your argument that makes sense. If you're accident prone, don't change your own oil. Instead put on your big girl dress and drive down to the nearest McLube and have them do it.

If you're naturally good with tools and following a procedure, and you have jack stands, then changing your oil saves you more than $15. It provides peace of mind that the oil in your engine is exactly the one you want. If you're changing out synthetic oil then you're saving more like $50.

I do, but I use my vehicle to tow frequently, and wind up changing it quite often. It's cheaper to buy the oil I use (Full synthetic DEXOS Bullshit.) in bulk than to take it to get changed every 2K miles.

>>16312935
Stanford 09 here and I also change my oil. Not sure if you're lying but I do it for the same reasons. It's not remotely difficult and the busywork can be relaxing, plus I'm averse to feeling helpless at the hands of the kind of people who work at JiffyLube.

So since I can do it myself in 15 min and never overtorque my drain plug I do it myself.

>>16313088
So, same thing as when you hit a truck from behind? except dashboard.

>>16311711
>I also inevitably ruin whatever shirt I'm wearing and my hands end up stinking like oil
Really? I tried it for the first time the other day and didn't get the oil on anything.

>>16313161
High milege synthetic is what you probably want. Be aware of several things. 1 changing to synthetic can cause leaks as it will help clean out your oil system and might be thinner. 2. When you switch you need to use the dino oil interval for about 2 more changes to make sure all the gunk is out before going to a longer synthetic interval. 3. Check on forums to make sure your car is compatible with synthetic oil. Some older cars have seals made of rubber that does not work well with synthetic. 25 years old means you are probably fine. 50 or more is something you want to chexk for sure.

Also isnt a bad idea to use an oil additive meant to restore compression if your car is that old. I perosnally use the 4 cylinder restore for all my 4 cylinder cars. I've actually noticed a difference in my oldest car since i started using it coupled with high milege synthetic

I cant change my oil the same reason i cant plumb

I got about this far into the procedure and realized changing the oil isn't worth it

IMO its wasteful to change the oil more than once a year unless you are really putting over 12k miles a year then maybe twice a year at most

full synthetics are really really good now

When I take my trucks in, all I hear from them is mumbling and whining about having to unbolt all the skid plates to access drain/fill plugs.

When I took my Porsche in, they just stood there looking like idiots trying to figure out where to put the new oil. Until I pointed out that 'OIL' in German is 'OEL'. So open the fucking OEL cap right in front of your fucking nose.

But now JiffyLube and the others don't do Porsches, so I might as well just do everything. None of the trucks need jackstands or ramps, so they are pretty simple (skit plates aside).

My truck and beater talon though I just take to a valvoline quick lube here. Costs me $16 or so for generic oil and filter from Wal-Mart. $20-25 if using name brand like valvoline/castrol. Quick lube place here is $23 for a conventional oil change. Easily worth to not bother on my two beaters.

I own a corvette so no one touches my car except me. I think it really comes down the the type of car you own. People that own shitboxes don't really about do it yourself car maintenance.

I changed my oil and spark plugs with basically no mechanical knowledge it was quite easy just research all the steps. Hardest part is the anxiety that you fucked something up etc. I plan on changing my transmission fluid next.

I was thinking that same thing, but I'm sure they reinforced the rear for that exact reason

This might be the most millenial post I've seen all day. Congrats OP. You are literally the largest waste of air I've encountered all day.

>own miata
>can literally reach oil filter from engine bay and unscrew it with hand
>can also unbolt oil drain plug without getting under car at all

Feels good man

What the fuck is wrong with you?
Are you really such a weak numale that you can't even crawl for 3 minutes without getting bruised?

"Millennial" boogy man meme.

Boomers are the generation that won't change their own oil
I've never met a boomer willing to change their own oil, yet every Gen Z male I know either changes their oil, or would if they had a place to.

>>16315770
Y. I meant Y.
Gen Z are niggers.

90's Ram?

>>16311711
I have a truck, and changing oil on something you don't even have to put on ramps is stupid easy to do.

However, I do take my car in because I'm just that lazy.

That all being said, I thought these things were going to become a thing any day now. What happened?

i dont think anyone wants to pay for those, and i dont think any automobile manufacturers want to pay engineers to figure out how to fit these things into cars

I figure if they cost as much as having a Jiffy Lube service they'd be OK.

>auto mfrs

i like to know what kind of oil and filter is going inside of my car. i don't trust those fucks at jiffy lube.

What are you so mad about? This isn't a working on cars forum it's a CARS forum. No need to get so triggered about not being capable of maintain one.

No one looking for that kind of car will give a shit about your oil change receipts enough to EVER pay ANY amount of additional money for it. Where did you hear this shit? the Automotive column in your newspaper?

>>16316225
Lmao my head is wider than the distance from the frame rails to the ground. My oil catch is too thick to slide under the car as well.

>tfw my car is barely lowered one inch

these days i don't bother and just let the dealer do it. to change it myself would cost about $55 but the dealer will do it for $70 which includes topping off any other fluids(windshield washer, coolant ect) and tire rotation. of course they usually try to get me on other shit but i just refuse and if there's actually a real issue i fix it myself

>>16312996
Make faces at them. Or rude gestures.

Kys mate. If we have to explain the benefit of doing your own services you dont deserve a nice car or my respect.

Glorious 3.6L alloytec motor. Sump plug is forward of front axle. Do not need to raise car to reach sump bolt or fit drain pan under.

Oil filter on top of motor accessed via hood.

Now fuck off mate

Jiffy lube tech here. If you've seen our prices it may definitely be in your best interest to change your own oil if you can afford the initial investment of a basic tool kit, durable jack and jack stands.

I just buy my own oil and filter and use my shop to change my oil, takes 5 minutes since you just stand underneath the car in the pit. Taking it to a quick lube shop or garage is fine if you're a typical joe that just wants to shut his nagging wife up about the maint req light.

DIY for the first time is gonna be a little tedious.

>>16315753
Fuck off, Ethan.

I have to crawl under the car on my back. There is literally no room to do anything else. Reaching up to do shit pushes my shoulder blades back, and into contact with the driveway.
I'm not amerifat, so I don't have half a ton of padding on me.

>>16316225
>do people really have to put their cars up on jacks? how fat are you fuckers that you can't fit under your own car?
It's not a case of 'I'm too fat to fit', and more a case of 'my car is low to the ground, and has low bumpers and skirts on it from the factory and there isn't enough room under there to work'.
And also 'I have to remove a fibreglass engine shield to get at the drain plug, which has a bunch of screws I can't find without seeing them'. I'd leave it off, but I like having a little bit of armour down there in case of road debris or roadkill.
I don't bother jacking it up, though. I use ramps instead.
