I haven't changed my own oil in any of my cars since the mid 1980's. When the Jiffylube type places came out it became no longer worth the hassle.

... and no, I've never had a problem with any of the quick lube places ... guess I've been lucky.

This design makes access look super easy -- I might go back to doing it myself.

:cool:

It's the first thing I noticed when I looked under the car at the dealer! Believe me, it's a breeze...I don't even have to jack the car up to drain the oil. I take my time and it only takes 15 minutes or so...it's wonderful.

I've got a socket for the oil filter. Make loosening and tightening as easy as turning a ratchet.

Quick oil change places may be convenient, but they're not trustworthy.

An oil change on the Yaris is a piece of cake, and will save you a lot of money!

Just do it yourself, that way you get a good look under your own car every 8k km

Hope you take your own advice! :tongue:
