Did my Hemi the other day, 8 qt synthetic and filter and it was less than $50 total. (And about ten minutes of time, most taken by a stuck oil filter!)
Suddenly, without warning, PeterD exclaimed (4/16/2008 10:17 PM):
I used to, for years. But I can't reach the filter in this truck, I'm too short :)
Back in the day, our buying decisions for a vehicle included whether or not we could reach the oil filter & plug, since hubby isn't overtall either, and we both preferred to change our own oil :)
A couple of years ago, took it into the dealer for warranty repairs, check engine light on. The replaced an O2 sensor. Didn't think much about it.
Well, the check engine light has been comming on frequently for the last year or so (about a year after they fixed it).
The other day, rolled under to change the oil and took a look.
IDIOTS! The mechanic, instead of properly installing the O2 sensor harness like from the factory, simply tie-wrapped it to the cross member! Well, one can guess about how long it takes that wire to wear through to the cross member!
