    Thing is i can't change it myself cause i can't get under my car. Thats why i have to find a place with best deal on oil change service.
    I just looked at NTB $18.99 oil change with Pennzoil up to 6qts.

    no friends to help change your oil? That way you can put decent oil in your whip for a decent price. Contrary to popular belief, you can avoid the rape.

    The cheapest is not always the best.

    The cheapest place will use crap oil, crappy filter, you may not even get the oil changed and if you do then they may leave your drain plug or oil filter loose for you.

    1. Buy a jack
    2. Change your own oil
    3. Profit

    Any particular reason you'd like to share? Unless you have a physical ailment, then there is no viable excuse. Later, QD.

    All i have is just a small jack that will only fit under my car if another person lifts the fender.
    I also of all tools don't have a filter strap. I usually use a belt with buckle but i lost the one i used.
    Oh and im 6'0 325lbs trying to maneuver on my back isn't easy these days

    Some of that is easily remedied. As a 25 year "vet" of truly slammed cars, I've found easy ways to improvise the lack of space to insert a jack under the frame rails. Simple enough fix? A brick or block. Drive up on it and PRESTO! The lost part? I don't need to post how to fix that. As far as your physical features, I can understand that and how it might pose a problem. Sucks, though, because I just can't seem to find it in me to trust these oil change places.

    Like mentioned above, find a good friend.

    Yeah the NTB deal seems hard to beat. I saw that Carnett's car washes are doing oil changes for around $20 as well. And they use Shell.

    Mine's the red one.

    just dont go to kauffman tire. friend of mine took his gmc denali for an oil change, and the left the engine running without oil in it. long story short, it locked up and its costing him hell in legal fees to get kauffman to pay for it.
