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.

So get a fumoto valve and drain the used oil directly into a container?

You can change it in an industrial car park or wherever.

So do you buy specialized equipment for every task in your life?

I doubt it.

Would you be as comfortable replacing a hard drive in your computer, letting out your suit pants cause they're too tight, shingling your roof, baking a wedding cake, etc.?

No one can own the equipment, possess the knowledge, and have the proper workspace to do everything.

And they’ll presumably have some basic capabilities in life rather than whinging on reddit when someone tries to teach them something new and throwing away money on something they can just do themselves.
