I posted this in a similar thread, but never trust those places:

You will be lucky if they dont give you the cheapest oil they have and charge you full price. And charge you for an oil filter they never changed. If you chose to go to those places, I recommend you watch that vid first, and if you still want to do it, make sure you make them let you watch everything they do.

Nice post Frost ... definitely change your own oil/filter. It's the ONLY way you know what you're getting and it's done right.

Change my own...


And Jiffy Lube should never ever be mentioned from this day forward. ;)

Also change my own oil. I've never thought of having a quickie-lube type place do it.

I did let a Toyota dealership change the oil on my wife's new truck back in 2003. They left the old filter gasket stuck to the engine when they put the new filter on, and on my way home the stacked filter gaskets blew out and the engine starved for oil. They ended up putting in a new engine after they figured out they couldn't B.S. me into driving off the lot with a loud rod knock. So I think I'll stick with changing the oil myself.

I change my own oil. Not just the engine oil, but the gear and diff oil as well.
