Change Your Own Oil, it's easy and will save you money.

Every 5000 kms or every 3 months it's recommended that you change the oil in your car and some new car manufacturers will not honour your warranty if you do not do this. Most of us just take our car to a local garage and have it changed, but have you ever thought of changing it yourself? Changing your oil is not rocket science and anyone with a few tools can change their own oil in a matter of minutes. It does not require any special skill or ability and will save you money. A selection of tools to help with an engine oil change can be found on ebay. A few are listed below.
