I wonder how much money you actually save doing this stuff yourself. I mean those commercials you see on TV for vehicle oil changes, $19.95, that seems cheaper than how much you'd pay to do it yourself, unless its not including labor, I don't know. 5 quarts of oil for my truck is more than that by itself.
