Is doing an oil change yourself even worth it anymore

WTF? The colors of the jack stands have to match??!! There should be another section about taking the grinder and some old paint to them to put some wear marks on them so that no one knows that they are new. Who cares about the color as long as they look used.

It's supposed to be a joke...I didn't write it. You're thinking too hard.

well....every place I have lived said no car maintanace on the premise...so I usually just bring it to those lube places. For my current car, I just bring it to the dealership. The only complaint about having someone doing my car maintanance was when I got my brakes and boots changed at ntb. I changed the air filter a day before and they had the nerve to tell me that I needed a new filter. I told them no thank you. I was gonna piss and moan aand explode on them, but where else could I get my boots replaced along with all 2 brakes for $170 (coupons ftw!)?

1. Pull up to Jiffy Lube when the mileage reaches 3000 since the last oil change.

2. Drink a cup of coffee.

3. 15 minutes later, write a check and leave. 30 miles later, the improperly installed filter blows out and spills oil all over the road. Lose control of car, smash into oncoming BMW. Your attorney visits you in the hospital and tells you that the cops ruled you at fault and your insurance is refusing to cover the accident.

Money Spent: $20.00 Oil Change $1.00 Coffee $20,000 new car $30,000 other party's costs $10,000 hospital bills. $1,000 attorney fees
Total - $61,021.00

Fixed, just like before

Oh, I just changed my oil for $13...actually $11, since I didn't use that last quart.
