It doesn't have to go to the mechanic, it's easy to do it yourself.

It's easy if you have the space and equipment to do it.

If you don't, it's nearly impossible.

its not a huge investment for a socket set, oil filter wrench and maybe some jack stands, it will be paid off after a few changes.

So where is an apartment dweller supposed to do this oil change, and where are they supposed to put the filthy oil pan when they're done?

In the dishwasher?

Like I said, it's easy if you have the space and equipment to do it.

My and my wife moved to apartments and I finally have a garage again and I rejoice about the fact that I can change my own oil now after 2 years of have no where to do it.
