...and where the difference between two and ten minutes is reason to pay someone to do it.

yeah I never understood 5 min oil change places, or is it 10... either way. Or the fact that my friend was a tech at ford and an oil change paid 10mins?? They give him 10 mins to: Go get a car, get the oil, get the filter, put the car on the lift, find the tool, let the oil drain (ahahhahaha sure, it drains for like a minute or else you're losing your ass on time) change the filter (some can be a bitch due to location). Fill it with oil and fill out the repair order. Not to mention the oil is sometimes burning hot.

lol fuckin bullshit

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.

I hear you. Leveling the car on jackstands and then dropping it off the stands probably takes me 20 minutes. I'm looking at getting one of these...

I take mine to VatoZone!

If one store won't take it, make them call other locations until you find one that will. Most will, but some won't (especially if thier tank is full).
