    everywhere from holes. Cleverly hide old oil filter among trash in trash can to avoid environmental penalties. Drink a beer.

      14) Spend 30 minutes looking for oil filter wrench.
      Obviously this was written by a woman.
      All real men know that you can use whatever leather belt you have on at this moment as a Universal Oil Filter Wrench.

          since you have to drive the oil to the recycling depot anyways, I find it just as convenient to have some mechanic do it for me... that way I can go home and drink beer, without having to worry about changing the oil

              Let's see...

              -------------------

              Oil Change for BMW 325is:

              1. Drive car onto Rhino Ramps (tm)

              2. Put oil pan under car, remove plug, let oil drain.

              3. Open new oil filter.

              4. Open oil filter compartment, take out old filter, insert new filter.

              5. Seal oil filter compartment and oil pan.

              6. Fill car with oil.

              Total Cost:

              7 Quarts of Mobil 1 at $5/quart = $35.
              BMW Oil Filter: $5
              Total: $40, and 15 minutes of my time.

              ------------------------------

              Change BMW oil at Jiffy Lube:

              1. Drive up to Jiffy Lube. Behold gleam in their eyes when they see the 325.

              2. Ask for oil change. Specify synthetic.

              3. They begin oil change. You go get a cup of coffee.

              4. You get back, they haven't done the oil change yet. "Are you sure you want synthetic? There's a surcharge!" Yes, I'm sure.

              5. Wait. Still not done. "You know it'll be extra for this car, right? Our signature service only covers 5 quarts of oil. It's $10 a quart for synthetic..." Yes, I know.

              6. Wait. Still not done. "This filter is extra, you know that right?" Yes, I am aware.

              7. Go get more coffee. Come back.

              8. Decline optional "let's rape the BMW owner" services.

              9. Write check. Get laughed at for not having coupons.

              Total cost:

              Signature Oil Change: $20
              Synthetic Surcharge: $20
              BMW Filter Surcharge: $10
              Extra Oil @ $10/quart: $20
              Total: $70, and a half hour of my life. Maybe longer.

              ----------------------

              I'll do my own ****ing oil changes, thanks.

              P.S. The Volvo only costs $60 because it only uses 6 quarts. Oh well.

              P.P.S. This wasn't funny. Women can't ****ing maintain cars to save their lives. Julie has NO idea when the oil needs changing, when we need new tires, or even when the tires are low. And she's SMART about cars compared to most women. Sorry.

                Oh, and if your oil filter is on so tight that you need a wrench to get it off, you:

                A. Overtightened it. Finger tight + a quarter turn ONLY, newbies.

                B. Haven't changed the oil anywhere NEAR recently enough.

                    Well - with reasons like that I can only recommend women should stick to servicing vehicles with much better ground clearance - something like my 73 Jeep Gladiator or a Chev K25

                          Actually, those... impediments... are just too damn big.

                          Seriously.

                          Anything more than a handful is redundant.

                            I think one of the main reasons that Becky married me was this...
                            One night we were on a date (to play bridge) and my '73 BMW 2002 broke down.
                            Well, I whipped out the white coveralls and toolbox I kept in the trunk for such occasions and had us running again in under five minutes.
                            I think it made her feel safe or something.
