'twould have to be a pot long relegated to non-cooking functions, methinks.

So far as the money saving for the diy oil change, locally the savings is only around $3-5.  But, I do it myself, anyway.  I know it has been done right.  Last time I let someone else change the oil in one of my vehicles, I got home and found that the oil was overfilled considerably.

Further, they quote a price for the oil change, but if you want the correct oil for your vehicle, they want more for that.

I can get it done right, Darrel Cook, VW mechanic par excellence, but Darrel is 30 miles away.

I buy my oil from a wholesaler who doesn't jack the price up to retail for individual consumers, order my filters from Van Cafe and Bus Depot, and do the oil changes in my garage.  Auto Zone, a few blocks away, accepts the used oil and filters.  I do buy some things from them from time to time, so do not feel bad about taking oil back to them that I bought elsewhere.  mcneely
