I changed my own oil!!!
This is probably not a big deal to you guys but it is to me. My G has a darned clean engine that I don't mind touching, so I changed my own oil on Sunday. I had to have my dad help me turn the wrench on the oil pan nut because I have wuss arms, but other than that I did it myself and had one hellofa time getting the darned filter off. But thank goodness it wasn't a Mazda Protege, they keep that oil filter inside the water pump (or somewhere more inconvenient). Anyway, now that I have started I am going to learn some of my own repairs so I won't get ripped of by the mechanics so much. I have been reading up on all kinds of stuff here, thanks for your help.

What'd you use to get the filter off. I bought on of those sockets that fit over the end of the filter for about $11. Makes it easy.

Feels good to do your own maintainance right? Now that you've got your feet wet, you can change the coolant, gear oil, and spark plugs. There's lots of stuff you can do on your own.
