I have the time, and patience to learn. And half the time, I see teenagers who drop out of highschool doing oil changes. So to me getting a "mechanic" or "professional" may not be as "professional" as you'd think. No offense to the actual professionals though lol. But really, give or take, you can learn to do all this yourself... we are all human =p Just need the time and proper tools. =)

(B.S!)..LIFE WORKS THAT WAY IF you let it!..find a "pair" and DEMAND to be treated with respect,and to be treated fairly,and equitably!..just sayin!

Made no sense that synthetic would cost 60 over regular so i just went with regular and if i cant buy the oil and let them do it for 20 then i guess i will do it myself. Almost seems like the BBB should be in on that price gouging lol.

good for you man!..you got a pair!..don't get sucked in to synthetic!..it costs a lot of money,and it's NOT NECESSARY!..your engine will last WITHOUT synthetic!..don't worry about it!..drive the car,and enjoy it! ya did the '"right" thing!..put 'food' on your table with the difference!..just sayin!
