Oil change

Posting this a little late but I did an oil change about a month ago. Oil and filter pack cost me about $80 total (dealer wanted like 180 w/labor). This took me a lot longer then I expected. The first attempt left the car dangerously suspended on the jack with no way to drop without crushing the jack and or engine. After avoiding a disaster I decided ramps were necesary, $30 I think. The ramps worked but I almost drove the car off the back side of the ramp. God damnit! After was all said and done it was about a 2 hour process of meticulously cleaning the filter camber and letting the oil drain and retracing the steps to make sure I didn't mess anything up. I wish I had photo'd the first attempt. Hilarious! 34,500 miles.
