Oil Change Issue.

[The little red pill]

Also, changing the oil yourself gives you pride in your vehicle, and a sense of satisfaction in doing the job yourself. An oil change is the easiest maintenance item you can perform. I NEVER take my car somewhere to have the oil changed. I've had bad experiences with people putting too much oil in, not enough, spilling it all over the engine bay and then having my car smoke. Nope, just ME working on MY car thank you.

One reason I change my own oil is because it's easy and I'm cheap. The second and just as important reason is garages overfilling/underfilling/etc. as you said.

And it's even easier if you remove the oil pan drain plug and put in a Fumoto oil drain valve (for about $20). Then, when you change oil, all you have to do to drain is to open the valve.
