Sounds great! So all I have to do is go out and buy an oil filter screw device, some jack stands, the oil and filter and an oil pan to put the old oil. That shouldn't take more than an hour, then put the vehicle in a place that's level. Ooops driveway isn't. So maybe street and hope the HOA doesn't come by and I won't get hit, then get out the jack and jack up the car. That should only take about 20 minutes unless I also buy a fast jack. Then get out the jack stands and put them under the car, then put on my old clothes and get a tarp so I can crawl under the car and not get good clothes dirty. Use my tools to do the job and hope no one runs over my legs while I'm under there with my legs in the street and no one hits my car off the jack stands because I'm taking up too much of the street or I will be injured and hope I have the strength to do what I need to do, then have an oil pan ready to let it drain into. Get out from under the car so it drains for a while and have a cup of coffee outside because my clothes are too dirty to sit in the house, then go back under and put on the new filter, then put in the oil and discard the old oil containers, take out the oil pan that has the old oil in it and pour it into a container to take to the oil reclamation site. Unjack the car. Put the equipment away, notice how much room the jack and jack stands take up in my garage. Clean out the oil pan to put away. Change clothes. Drive around for a while. Check the oil level. And I'm done. Cool.
Lake Houston Automotive near Wendy's on West Lake Houston Pkwy. I've been going there because they have helped me several times at better prices than other places. Parry's pizza is in the strip center or HEB bbq across the street.
Yessir , perfect. You save 80 bucks or so. Just keep saving up the old oil canisters and take them all back in bulk. Screw the hoa. I actually don't even need a jack stand or ramps to change my oil.
Jiffy Lube on WLHP near Wendy's. In and out fast and they have some of the nicest employees.
I used a place that is in the small shopping strip on Chestnut Ridge ,north of Kingwood Dr. Not sure if it is still open though, they did State Inspections also.
