I always take the time to change the oil in my cars myself. Why? Because
it takes ten minutes and I know that it has the right kind of good quality
oil and filters. Since all three cars have very different requirements,
(fully synthetic ?30-per-gallon stuff for the XM, 20W50 thick goop for the
CX and 10W40 for the AX, and genuine Purflux filters which are the right
part but don't come with a Citro?n sticker on the box and therefore are
1/4 the price).
I know it's a bit arrogant, but I take the "if you want a thing done
properly, do it yourself" attitude to pretty much all my work.

Most people are totally clueless about repairing
or building
ANYTHING.
Not sure if that's a shame or not. For example, I am one of those
schleps who pay someone to "change my oil" -- this is because my time is
extremely valuable. Money, I can scrape up; time, I can't.
