Bc jiffy lube $$$ ftl

hahaha

i learned long ago that i'd rather pay someone $20 to rotate my tires and change my oil than do it myself

10/3/2007 12:58:25 PM

i'm going to AAA soon to get my oil changed....maximadrvr might even change it

10/3/2007 12:59:16 PM

I have all the necessary items
-ramps
-oil pan
-5w-20 oil

All that remains is I have to cut off the sleeves of my def leppard shirt and get a boombox to set on the hood and leave one door open

10/3/2007 1:04:20 PM

haha, that's great.

10/3/2007 1:05:22 PM

do you have the filter too.

10/3/2007 2:03:11 PM

...I'm buying a car today, and that's something I'm looking forward to learning to do

10/3/2007 2:04:38 PM

1. drive car on ramps
2. with drain pan/dish on ground, unscrew oil cap and let old oil drain into drain pan/dish
3. unscrew filter, put in drain pan/dish
4. dont get mad that you just spilled some oil on your arm from the filter
5. put new filter on
6. screw oil pan cap back on
7. open hood and add oil
8. test level with dipstick
9. drive to Wendy's and floss your new shit

id listen to slowblack96 he does this for a living

10/3/2007 2:16:00 PM

slowback would probably leave out steps #4 and #9

10/3/2007 2:16:53 PM

you had your car for 13 years?

10/3/2007 2:19:22 PM

yea, there's no point changing the oil without changing the filter.

10/3/2007 2:20:08 PM

I just came back to post that I forgot to buy a filter

Also need a funnel...going to run by advance/autozone on the way home from work


I've actually only had the car for about 10 weeks

Already have 5000 miles on it
Damn a commute to work everyday

you don't need a funnel

grab/make a paper one if you're unsteady

Did this with transmission fluid and an index card once

10/3/2007 2:34:27 PM

A funnel is a buck

Ill avoid [derrogatory term for african-americans]-rigging it

10/3/2007 2:38:44 PM

funnel necessity definitely depends on:

- size of oil cap
- shape/mouth of bottle of oil

10/3/2007 2:39:36 PM

Shalom!

I miss my 89 Camaro. It burned oil so fast that I would just add a quart every week and never change the oil.

Until I went three weeks without changing it and my engine locked up.

I was one of the last white guys to drive a 3rd generation Camaro before it was co-op'ed by mexicans.

10/3/2007 3:26:28 PM

It depends on the car I'm driving whether I do it myself or not.

If the filter is in a weird or hard to reach location, I just pay someone else to do it.

10/3/2007 3:39:40 PM

^You would hate my car. The filter is in a *terrible* location. I'd still rather do it myself though...I don't really trust the jokers at Jiffy Lube not to fuck something up.

love it

10/3/2007 3:44:07 PM

depends on how big of a hurry I am. If I'm in a hurry, I pay the $20, otherwise I do it myself and put nice oil & filter on.

10/3/2007 4:10:59 PM

well

it didnt happen today, maybe tomorrow

10/3/2007 11:00:13 PM

I usually just put synthetic oil in my car. Longer oil change interval FTW. I change my oil once a year on synthetic.

10/3/2007 11:02:51 PM

so we attempted tonight...but the oil filter wrench was not large enough and it wouldnt budge otherwise

>.<
