So I've read through the whole process a couple of times, and what I still need to get is an oil filter wrench, a drain pan, and possible something to get the oil drain plug off. I'd need to purchase a new filter too and ive seen anywhere from 4-6 quarts of oil. Could anyone tell me a rough estimate of these costs? |

I don't know where you guys go for a $12 oil change, but I know it's at least 20-40 bucks around here, and even if I find a place cheaper, do I really want to know everything about a car except how to change oil? This is a basic thing and anything I can learn about cars is something that makes me feel safer driving one. |
