The last time I did it, I swore I'd never do it again...along with the other kind of swearing I was doing at the time. I shocked my own self; I learned some rather colorful epithets during my time in the Army.

I still do lube jobs, though.

Well, there's only one tool you can use - a grease gun with a special fitting. Isn't it about time to do yours?

LOL.....must be why so many cars are sitting in the yards in Kentucky......they are all waiting on the oil change

They can make a car that has power windows, talks to you, annoys the hell out of you to buckle up, and screams bloody murder when you walk within ten feet of it, ....they can make one to change it's own oil.
