You dont need to change the drain plug "oil pan bolt" every time.
Hey, I have a question.. Ive been seeing those magnetic ones on ebay.. are they worth it?

i never trust my car in the hands of strangers. a friend of mine took her Accord to WalFart to get her oil changed and they accidently replaced her drainplug w/ a ford drainplug!!! she ended up having to get a new oil pan... which WalFart paid for. but still. there's nothing like the gratification of doing the job yourself & knowing it was done right

Hoboken, NJ is pretty expensive though.

What’s my site Oxidizer? It’s a weekly sports blog that focuses on the NBA. It’s been up for about a year and actually gets a good deal of hits. Weird.
And like medicinal marijuana, the yellow background is good for glaucoma. So give it a try.
Yes, my pimp hands are strong. If any of you ever need me to open a jar of olives for you, let me know.
Thanks for the offer kieranlavin. I’ll let you know.
Take care,
Clyde.

i buy my own oil and oil filter.
i take it to my mechanic and he does it in like 10 minutes.
Charges $10 labor.
not to mention a pretty good inspection of the whole car. He's trying to find stuff to work on i guess but hasn't told me to change anything outrageous that didn't need changing anyways.
