I used to always change my own oil but several years ago i bought a low clearance vehicle with oil filter on bottom and took it to jiffy lube for the first time. After they were done i pulled into the first parking lot for inspection and they hadnt put my splash shield back on. Their excuse was they thought it belonged to another vehicle. And last time they forgot to fasten the clamps back on the engine air filter housing and there was a small crack where unfiltered air could get into the engine. I also discovered they didnt tighten the oil filter enough and there was oil leaking down the side of it. Unfortunately i realized these things months after they serviced my vehicle.
So i went and bought everthing i needed such as ramps, jack stands and tools so i can do my own damn oil change. I am also studying youtube so i can be prepared to do other basic maintenance.
I agree with you. Unless I know my buddy who I trust is doing it or one of his guys, I wouldn’t do it. Once I get a lift, I’ll start doing it again.
Just my opinion, I think if you have the ability to change your own oil you should. You'll typically save a few bucks, but it's not about the money really rather its a easy job thats is good at getting people into basic mechanics. Once you change your oil and few times youll probably have the confidence to change your brakes, coolant, gear oil, trans oil, maybe a alternator or belts which is where the actual savings will come. You could pay 300-500$ for front pads and rotors where you could DIY it for around 100$ roughly. Once you can do other stuff and understand mechanics more then sure get it done but it's a valuable skill that will be useful down the road.
Right on! Teaching basic mechanical skills to the next generation is important if you ask me.
I save 30 bucks doing oil change tire rotation is part of the plan with Warrenty on most tires.
That Firestone is amazingly fast. The Firestone near me takes over 4+ hours JUST FOR OIL CHANGE. For this reason, I decided not to take it to a shop.
i buy toyota filters by the case, getting them super cheap, and i buy mobil 1 full synthetic 12 qt bulk box oil for about $50. So, I'm doing my oil changes for about $30, using a very premium oil, and an oem filter, with new crush washers, and o rings.
Do you buy your products in bulk online or in a certain store? $30 is pretty good for synthetic!
Someone tell this man that floor jacks and impact wrenches exist 😢
Those I have, but I wanted to show how to do it with only the stuff that came with the truck.
As you found, it is usually a similar cost except for the time. Of course you have pointed out you could shave quite a bit of time off the rotate with just a bit more tooling. I just like knowing what was done and am at a point currently where basic vehicle maintenance is dad time with the teens. That is priceless. As others have pointed out, take care with directional tires.
You said it! If you do it yourself, you know exactly what was done. I think its awesome that you get to spend time with the kids turning wrenches! Even if it costs more to do it at home, the quality time you get is invaluable. Keep it up!
I have a Honda Accord, and a Honda Ridgeline. I can change the oil and rotate the tires on either one in an hour. I use a floor jack and some jack stands. Jack rear up, put it on a jack stand, then jack the front up, and rotate the tires. Then do the other side. I also torque the lug nuts with a torque wrench. I do use a Ridgid impact wrench though.
I don't know where you got your tire rotation instructions from but my local tire shops only do front to back. I have been told if you rotate a tire from one side to another changing the rotation on a tire, will cause the belts to break.
The cars seats sure slowed me down along with my small floor jack not going high enough. I have always rotated my rear and 4wd tires this way. I even double checked with Bridgestone and thats what they call for. Doing your own oil change and rotate can be a pain but at least you always know exactly what was or wasn’t was done. Keep up the good work!
Some tires are directional so they have to stay on the same side of vehicle that is marked for rotation like snow tires. Otherwise follow the owners manual recommendation which often says to flip one set to opposite sides when rotating.
I do my own on all of this, but I have a 2-post lift and a heated and cooled shop. Takes me about 20 minutes to do the whole thing.
Believe it or not, the super tech filter is better than the fram.
Why do you like the Super Tech better?
Fram is the worst, project farm done a video on several and is worth a watch.
@@C10TruckNerd Tests have shown it's actually pretty good. Fram tested the worst
@@scottieshawn4814 I will check it out! Thanks for the info for all of us!
@@Challenged1 I guess that's what I get for not going The Chad way (cheap)!
Great video! I do my own oil and service on my vehicles, I'm an independent tech and I do enjoy doing those stuff. But I will say going to your local shop is great. You also have to account the time it took for you to drive and get the supplies, and more importantly the potential of being injured while doing your own oil change, tire rotation, or repairs.
I appreciate it! If I ever get a lift, I’ll do a lot more of my own maintenance, but until then I’ll keep supporting my buddies shop. Thanks for watching!
@@C10TruckNerd yessir!
My oil change for my 19 equinox has never been under 90 dollars 😅
I just had my oil changed and tires rotated a couple months ago with a coupon at Firestone for $58. It wasn’t full synthetic though.
I actually injoy doing my own work on my truck even though the new tacomas are a little pain to change the oil.
You bet! Then you know exactly how things were done.
I change my own oil using high mileage FULL synthetic oil and a Premium filter and it cost $45. Using an oil change place AND full synthetic is around $90. This video must be sponsored. Also, most shops charge $20 for a rotation. That would be $110. You’re also not including the drive time to the shop. When you change your own oil you can pick up the supplies at any point between changes when you’re at the store.
I didn’t have any sponsors from Firestone. I did buy my tires there, so that gets me free rotations, inspections and rotations on the set. I only get a synthetic blend so that kept the cost down. My buddy just retired and when I went in the other day they wanted $62.99. I think it’s time for me for me to do it at home. I can still get free rotations there if I want.
I'm in S. Florida and oil changes at Firestone always run me at least $100
Yikes! Guess there is a benefit of the Midwest! We are usually behind on price hikes.
You should have also counted the time from when you left your driveway and got back home separately since this was related to your experience. Some people may have to drive hours to get to that “reputable” shop. I get free rotations at Costco, occasionally I would use them but I found for the hassle of waiting in line and dealing with rat race there I could do them faster myself. Also, their new guy stripped a wheel stud and blamed it on me. I always hand thread first and I hand torque wrench everything, so nice try.
Any reputable shop is just a new inexperienced tech away from becoming not reputable.
If it is a chore and you haven’t invested in decent tools by all means take it somewhere, there’s nothing wrong with employing service professionals, my only gripe is that you don’t always get a professional.
Also, if I had to change my oil once every few months I would be a lot faster or super tired of doing it. I go 5000 mi/change and do oil changes between our 3 cars 2-4 times a year depending on the year. I basically rotate tires when I switch to snow tires anymore with the pandemic.
Was still interesting to watch your video, I knew the Supertech to Fram would draw some educational comments. Thanks for putting the video together.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! You made a lot of great points! You are correct with the shops. If it's a bigger place, you might not know who or what experience that tech has. Also the blame game is horrible if a shop does something wrong and tries to blame you for it. Yeah, I should have done my research on the Fram filters! I never use them but thought, let's go with the more expensive for the vid. FAIL! Haha. I am glad folks commented for future oil changes. Thanks for watching!
Wouldn’t you start the time from the moment you left your home to the moment you returned home? Thats the total time I think
That is true. That would make a difference. Luckily, my buddy is only 10 minutes from me.
I used to change my own oil until I realized it was actually the same cost to have someone else with the proper setup do it. All you gain by doing it yourself is a sense of self satisfaction and a big, leaky jug of used motor oil that’s now YOUR problem to dispose of.
I agree. As long as you have a reputable shop, you should be fine.
I agree but recently all the shops around me are super busy and Seam to be getting worst
Im 66 and still change my own oil and rotate the tires. I can't say that I trust most quick oil change shops. I know for a fact that they use very cheap oil filters.
@@padude131 The cheap filters do just as good of a job as the expensive ones.
@@adamgh0 I highly disagree and i'm sure a lot if other guys will too but I'm not here to argue with you. You do you.
I don't know how could you do oil change that cheap but my local jeffy lube charges $125 for an iil change with oil filter if synthetic (5qts). Most lube charge places use big drum oil which has high chance to get contaminated. Lastly and the most importantly since i started changing my own oil all my vehicles started running like brand new. My recommendation for all , if you have time to change your own oil please don't waste your money for any quick lube please no matter how cheap they are offering. You just don't know how much they draining and what kind of cheap oil they putting in your vehicle
I totally agree with you on not using quick lubes! I have heard a lot of bad stories from them. Filling the oil twice, stripping the drain plug, tranny fluid in the engine. What a mess. I have been very fortunate to have my buddy running the shop for over 20 years to take good care of me. If you do it yourself, you never have to worry how it was done. Thanks for sharing and for watching!
Always buy 2 jugs of oil those single quarts are a rip off you will use the extra oil somewhere later, thanks!
That’s a great tip! There is a decent saving when buying the 5 quart jugs.
i do all of our maintenance i have a wonderful shop with two lifts and i know its done right where i live that service would be way north of 100
I’m jealous! I hope to build a garage one day! Having a lift would definitely make life easier for maintenance.
chad it will come when my kids were small i did what you are doing i pieced out a bunch of c 10s & square bodies to fund my projects where i live in tx panhandle they were plentiful and cheap
Nice video
I appreciate it!
....IF you can find a decent oil change place that isn't going to strip your oil pan out, or spill engine oil all over the engine, or NOT change the oil filter at all. I don't trust most oil change places.
I agree with you! Folks should definitely do their homework for a good shop. I have been very fortunate to have a buddy at Firestone that has that old school bend over backwards customer service. I rarely see that any more!! Thank you for reaching out and also for watching!
I do my own oil changes but tire rotation I take to discount Tire. I forget if they charge or not....for 4 tire rotation?.
It cost me less then $25.00 for an oil change at home.
Tom
It is nice to have a discount tire near by to do the rotations and tire repairs for free. You’re doing great for $25.
You got a bargain from the shop even without the tire rotation.
It’s tough to beat. Just had it done again last week for $54, so it hasn’t gone up too much.
$51.60 for Oil change and Tire rotation ..? Dude are you are ..? What shop do that ..?
Good old Firestone! The manager always keeps me posted with their good sales and promos!
get some jack stands, ya hoser!
They may or may not have been in use with another junker!
Walmart... 35$
Wally for the win!
Watch any youtube video on oil filters and you will see that the Supertech is better than Fram...most anything is better than Fram.
That’s what I get for not going the cheap route like I usually do. I never buy name brand but thought I would step it up for the video. Fail! I am glad this was brought up for others to know more expensive isn’t alway better! Thank you for commenting on this!
I use oem Mopar filter
