I'm slower than the professionals, but the oil gets changed in any case. It's not difficult as long as you leave out the sixpack.

I used to work on my old truck, but now that I have a 2001 Status those days are over. I open up that hood and have trouble finding where anything is.

A sixpack a piece makes the second and third Blade movies tolerable. Barely.

what I meant is that when my dad does it you have ALL of the steps above minus the six-pack related ones. Where as I can do it no problem in 20 minutes or so... and I don't even like cars.
