youtube how to change your oil, say fuck you to all the shops that charge you, and change your shit.


get new oil too.

 

Most shops do use recycled oil, unless you ask for bottled but then of course you will pay more.

 

Perhaps its time to discuss the difference between "recycled" oil and "used" oil.

Used oil is exactly what it sounds like...used...aka bad, junk, etc.

Recycled oil is entirely different. It starts as used oil, its then filtered, reprocessed, has additives added back into it, and is good to go.

Some oil facts...unless its heated to the point of coking (turning to sludge) oil does not lose its ability to lubricate. However, the extra additives that manufacturers add that do things like prevent corrosion, stabilize, etc do wear out. Once the undesirable things are filtered out and these additives are put back, recycled oil is nearly as good as new.

IMO everyone should be using synthetic oil. If your not using synthetic oil then you may as well use the recycled, the difference between recycled and new natural oil isnt enough to make a big deal about.

 

as a proud employee of tire kingdom i say unless u man up and do it yourself , just buy the oil you want then have the monkeys at the shop put it for you ... otherwise were just gunna pump in the shitty stuff outa the tank out back

 

Two minutes to change oil? Not even with a lift could I get it done in two minutes.

 

Welcome to TR, where everyone has a 10 second car, and can perform an oil change in two minutes.

 

 

lol

 

Takes me 30-45. I like to let it get a good drain. After I pull the plug I do things like check the levels of other fluids, inspect belts, hoses, etc...pretty much give everything under the hood a real good checking. By the time thats done the engine is quite well drained. Also my filter is not a spin-on type, its in a housing built into the block, so it takes longer to change than a spin-on filter.
