Just finished my 1st self-done oil change ever 10 minutes ago, right before it started to rain hard here. That was a lot easier than I expected, and I’m pretty bad with tools/mechanical things. 5 qt for $20 full synthetic…a lot cheaper than $70-80 at Valvoline/Monroe etc. It was enjoyable too once I got the overtightened bolts on from Monroe ---

It’s surprising how many people have no clue what’s involved in an oil change. It really is quite simple. At least you’re making the right steps and trying shit out. Who cares if you didn’t know before. Some people don’t have that influence in their lives and have to eventually get to on their own. My roommate was scared at the thought of topping off his p/s fluid. Fucking business majors… ---

Fucking business majors… Thank you Paulo. Next step is to learn how to do 1 on my Motorcycle this weekend. Had to take my undercover off in order to get to the filter too, kinda a pain, but will be much easier next time. I bought some Rhino Ramps instead of a jack, liked it much better. ---
