Do you change your own oil ?

I do. Either way how often do you have it done or do it yourself?

I live in an apartment, no garage or way of disposing of the old oil and filter. I go to the service department at the dealer.

@Jonjdw It is just easier for me to take my car to the shop.

@Byron8by7 yea. And they may not what you working on a car in the parking lot if that is where you park
Byron8by7 · M
@Jonjdw I can just go to the shop and wait in comfort while they do it.

I do all my own oil changes . On most of my heavy trucks I used to change it every 3000 miles on my cars around 5000 miles.
Northerner · 70-79, M
@Jonjdw Yes you can now with synthetic oils.
Jonjdw · 46-50, M
@Northerner yes. But I don’t use synthetic.
Northerner · 70-79, M
@Jonjdw neither do I . I am old fashioned.

Its cheaper, and easier to have it done at the jiffy lube place
Jonjdw · 46-50, M
@Tminus6453 maybe it is I don’t know. I can do it myself for under $20

Once a year the car gets serviced and it gets done then by the garage.
Jonjdw · 46-50, M
@Travelbug yea I do it about once or twice a year. And I put on over 12.000 miles a year at least. Probably more like 15.000. And I never broke an engine. Car problems for me has been transmission or cooling problems. And cooling issue will destroy an engine quick.

@pagandad I don’t. They say you really don’t have too do it that much. I’ve never had an engine go because of that? when I had an engine go it was a cooling issue. Just saying.

@pagandad that is good. But I have seen ppl take real good care of there car only to have problems anyway. Just saying. I drive a car I paid 500 bucks for two and a half years ago. It now has over 200,000 on it. It makes all kinds of noise and runs like shit since I got it. But it just keeps going. I use it everyday. It needs stuff. But I will drive till it breaks.
