Oil Change Question

[Lew L]

Got a Dremel tool?? Open up those holes around the drain plugs. Just another thing that makes the oil change easier. You'll thank me later-------------

I just changed my oil for the first time. Here's what ya do. Ride over to your local Spyder dealer and drop off the beast. Allow for a couple days of no Spyder. Scrounge up about 400 Shekels. Take said Shekels to dealership to retrieve your Spyder. Enjoy not cleaning up any messes, not tending to burns and busted knuckles, remember all the fun stuff you did while the Spyder was gone, be lucky you aren't buying your wife gifts cuz you were a frustrated A$$#ole, and then make sure there's precisely 5.6 quarts of oil showing on the dipstick, as directed in the manual.

Seriously? $400 for an oil change? Shoot, my Dodge doesn't cost that much and it takes 3 GALLONS.

No thanks.......... local Spyder Dealer is about 75 miles away and I have nobody to pick me up or take me back there during working hours. I would have to trailer the Spyder down and then go back to get it. 300 miles on the truck towing the trailer and at least 2 days totally wasted. I can change the oil myself and take care of all the other required inspections in about 2 hours and spend less than $50. Added to that, I have reasons not to trust the nearest local dealer. Don't usually make any messes and the local car parts dealers will take the used oil.

Spending a couple of hours and $50 is much better for me than wasting 2 days, $400 for the dealer, and at least another $50 gas for the truck.
