Whoops. Looks like I left out an "it". I'm distracting myself from a
nerve wracking Alabama/Auburn game.

When I was a kid we just dumped in woods behind the house but someone
decided that was environmentally unfriendly.

The biggest problem with home oil changes is getting rid of the oil.
I used to do it but every time I would go to Auto Zone, Checker,
etc… Their oil drum was always full. I finally gave up and just get
the free car wash when I do it.

So on the Subaru engine the oil filter sticks straight up. Does that
make it incredibly easy to change or incredibly messy?

About the only place I'll have change the oil anymore is when I take
the car in for the major service interval at the dealer. They carry
the oil I use and I figure a genuine Subaru oil filter isn't any
worse than the M1-108's I use normally.
Other than that, it gets changed at home anymore. I've discovered
that throwing a pan under the car and pulling the oil/plug filter
takes so little time that it's actually faster for me to do it. I
generally will do it before a trip out of town and will pull the oil
filter/plug and then clean/vaccum the car out while the oil is
draining. Once I'm done vaccumming, I put everything back together
and refill the car with an appropriate amount of oil. Takes me less
time than waiting at an instant lube place, and then I know what
oil/filter is actually in/on the engine.
Sadly, I haven't found anything fun drawn on my car's oil filter when
it comes from the dealer.

We bring Mobil 1 oil filters in when we have the local oil change

van had them on their when I looked about 3000 miles after the
change. After some heated discussions concerning the theft of my oil
filters and shenanigans that might require a review of whether they
are really using Mobil1 1 oil, they changed both vehicles while I
watched them open new bottles of oil in front of me. Fortunately
this was the first time I used them, and the last time.

A local guy went out to change his oil today. Found a penis drawn on
his oil filter. That filter had been installed by Jiffy Lube.
Same company that billed us for an oil change a few years ago (fleet
account) for a car that my business partner’s step daughter crashed
and totaled a year before.
