So here's my 25K service.

i change my own oil, but some people fail to add in the time it takes to purchase your oil and filters(i'm cheap and usually drive around to a couple places for the best deal) and taking your oil somewhere to have it properly disposed of. you don't have to do this everytime, obviously, but just saying that it's not fair to compare a quick change place to doing it yourself without adding in this 'time' factor. anyways, i usually do save money because i like to use synthetic, nice filters, and always look for the best deals.

Totally true. You're just the other side of the Jiffy Lube idea. Your way works just as well for you, as it does for people who don't have time and pay for convenience. Or in my case, lazyness.

Man. A legit point on the other side of the spectrum. Why can't forum debates be like this?

and that is what keeps me from trying to change my own oil. Where do I recycle it? I assume an oil change pan can be had at any oil parts store. I'm tempted to try and do it, but this is me, and I would prolly mess it up somehow.
