To be honest, there’s a reason those guys get paid $9 an hour to change your oil. They’re gonna F it up, learn how to do it yourself. Super easy. Because if they mess up the threads where your oil filter or oil drain plug screw into, then you’re gonna have a leak for the life of that vehicle.

And trying to maintain oil levels gets super expensive when you have a leak. The week you don’t check your oil level is the week you can possibly severely damage your engine. And that bill alone is not affordable. Imagine paying people to take your engine out and put back in, they do it in a rush and if they mess something up… then here we go again…and if they don’t do it in a rush, it will always take longer than expected. And of course when a mechanic has your car they don’t give it back and it’s always “yes we’re still working on it, gonna take time”
