Don't laugh, but I want to start changing my own oil because my place costs $30 for crappy oil and a crappy filter which should only cost like $6 if I did it myself. So I got the idea that instead of going to a place and spending $30 for junk, I'm gonna but quality stuff and just do it myself. But I seem to have forgotten about spiders and creepy crawlies and the possibility of getting oil stained hands--ewww.
However I am willing to take it all in stride and am planning on changing it for the first time in my life by myself today. I learned how to in driver's ed when I was around 16 so I sort of know HOW to do it, and have read stuff on the net about it, plus I have watched several of my male friends do it, so I'm assuming I am able to actually perform the oil change, but my confidence level is down so I need some encouragement..
Any women on here change their own oil?? Is it easy? Any tips/troubleshooting?? What kind of oil do you use? I'm thinking Mobil 1 but it's like $5/quart and I don't drive a racecar so I don't know if it's worth it. I went out and bought one of those pure one filters but i don't even know where it goes lol.!
