Zip has obviously been taking copious notes, and I'd like to know from Wahrsuul just where you can go to find a drive through that will change your oil for $20.00? Better yet what's the name of the store where you can buy all the oil change components for $50.00? Just my 2 bits to let you know I've been paying attention.

[seaweed]

How dare someone post about changing oil in a car. After all this is a motorcycle forum.

Sorry Wahrsuul, I could not resist myself. :joke::joke:

[IdahoMtnSpyder]

Shouldn't we also discuss what clothes you should wear while changing oil? After all, some of the quick lube guys change oil while wearing white shirts and ties!! :ohyea: www.einsteinsoilery.com/

I've heard some J.L. horror stories.

[Wahrsuul]

Yeah, it's a little old, but still amusing, having watched my father do things like that.

I just did the oil change on a Honda - cost $35 for the oil and filter. Just got to look for the deals.
