I have thought of changing my own oil since I've heard all kinds of horror stories about places changing oil. This one girl I went to high school with took her car into somewhere and when they were draining her oil they were like, "Wow this oil is really pink looking." Moments later they realized they were draining her transmission fluid. Whenever I get an oil change I habitually think of this story and cringe the whole time I'm there.
I'm just a few tools short of being able to change the oil myself. A few questions on that subject...what can I use to raise the car up a bit to get under there better? Also what do you catch the oil in and where do you bring the old oil? I know some auto parts stores have something for that, I just don't remember which ones.
Thanks
