Yeah I see that now, you're right. I hadn't read your other post. I thought you were saying dropping the pan and changing the filter is something the common person shouldn't try. And the boneheads at jiffylube call sucking the old fluid through the dipstick a "flush". How's that for truth in advertising?
ya, well, jiffylube is another one i recommend avoiding like the plague.
when i used to tow, we averaged 2 or 3 cars a month that we towed out of the local jiffylube. funny thing, is that they all ran when they went in.
as for just doing a fluid and filter change.......if the person doing it feels confidant, then there's no problem doing it. 9 out of 10, are super easy. there;s some that are somewhat hard......mazda protege is one.....you have to remove a support member to get 4 or 5 of the pan bolts, and there were some late 80's early 90's fords, that you had to unbolt shifter cable brackets.
back to the jiffylube thing.....THAT kind of poop is what makes us all look bad in this business......
