Over the years I have always pulled my own maintenance on my vehicles, especially my bikes, however as I have gotten older I have found that changing oil on my cars has been somewhat of an issue with my arthritis. I started frequenting those 10 minute oil change shops such as Jiffy Lube and Texaco Express lube and each time there has been something lacking with their performance. So, after several years of using them I swore that from now on ill just tuff it out and change my own oil. It just seemed that they never did just what they advertised they would do. From something as minor as not washing the window or vacuuming the interior (as advertised) to rounding off the head of the bolt and not fixing it, leaving me to discover it at the next oil change. Sometimes I have found less oil in the engine then it called for. My Trailblazer for example holds 7 qts of oil and I am charged for the additional 2 quarts. When I get it home I usually found it down a quart even though I paid for 2. Of course they correct it but the hassle of going back is a PIA. So, today I decided to change my oil in my Trailblazer myself and I bought 7 qts of oil and a good filter. Get the truck up in the air and discover an inspection plate that needs to be removed to access the oil bolt and filter was left off completely. Not a big issue but that only means that Texaco Express has a cover, 2 bolts and a snap clip laying around somewhere. I mean, where has quality control and pride of workmanship gone to? That old saying "if you want it done right then do it yourself" sure does apply here. I guess it really is what it is!! And I cant even claim this mild rant as winter blues since it was 75 here today....
