I was changing the 90W oil from my replacement differential. My 2 year old comes over and puts both hands in the pan full of used oil. I grabbed his arms before he could do more damage and called for my wife to bring towels. That stuff is the worst smelling liquid on earth.
My vehicle has the oil filter on the top of the engine, so that’s easy and I can reach the drain plug while laying on the floor, easy, peasy. takes about ten minutes tops. I have always worked on my own cars, e.g. just changed my main window control switches. It just snaps out and the new one snaps right in. It’s really not that hard to fix the newer cars, I just watch a few youtube videos and pick the one I think would work and be the easiest.
I used to change my oil and filters myself when I was younger to save money. I stopped doing it later when became more difficult to dispose of the spent oil because fewer places would take it.
A friend and I were trying to change the oil filter in my car, but we couldn’t budge the old one, even though we had one of these special oil filter wrenches. We went back inside and had a Coors beer. At this time, we were in an area of the country that couldn’t get Coors. I don’t remember how he got them. When we went back out and tried again, it came right out!

Broomie should have raised the rear to get all the used oil out, not the front!!!

I know zilch about cars. Why does the oil have to be changed? Does petroleum have a limited shelf life?

I guess Broomie will have to use Dawn dishwashing detergent to get that stuff off of Nerwin.

Her old Plymouth lives on "Barhdal, STP, Mystery oil, toilet paper oil filters, “Ring Free”,
and the other preservative at the local “Western Auto”….
Since 1968 I have had two 4WD trucks that took me on many trips to Idaho to go hunting
and thousands of trips to the dumps and millions of other shopping trips and vacations….
The secret is to never “Wash them” and ignore the snide remarks of you’re friends and neighbors.
Oops , I may be giving away my “secret Identity”……
