Are you sure you are saving money doing your own oil changes??? DH thought we were, until he did some research. It is actually around $10 cheaper for us to take our vehicles to jiffy lube or a similar place.
In our area, we can not buy the oil and filter for less than the jiffy lube price and in addition we also have to pay an oil surcharge to turn the old oil back in (you can't just dump oil--it has to go to a special place). Also, while it is in the jiffy lube, they also top off for free the wiper fluids and do a quick free wash and vacume which is worth another few bucks.
Our Jiffy Lube runs monthly specials at $9.99 one-three days a month. You can't even buy the oil for that price.
