CM Oil change
How many of you do your own oil change? I am not brave enough to get my hands dirty and attempt it myself.

I do as much work on my car as I can. Oil changes are pretty simple. The biggest concern is safely lifting up the car. Once you do it, it's something you'll do more often.

You know how to treat a lady!!

I have seen people doing oil change and I think I could do it, if I really go for it. But never tried it so far.
