How many of you take your own oil for an oil change...

I too change my own oil but I don't use any old commercial oil, not in my baby. I take 5 parts extra virgin olive oil, 2 parts oil of Olay, 3 dashes of black truffle oil and the juice of one ripe Tamarind. I mix this during the full moon while chanting "stooka, stooka" until its fully blended. Then I strain it through 300 count Egyptian cotton cloth 5 times to make sure the impurities are out. I find my little car hums like a bird when I put 5 quarts in. Plus the exhaust smells wonderful. If anyone is interested I will be mixing up a batch later this month. Its expensive but perhaps I could discount for a group buy.

buy Mobile 1 at the local Wal Mart
buy the filters from Trevor at www.handa-accessories.com
and I change the oil myself.
I'm with Rev, I would have hoped to see more DIY'ers. And don't say you dont have a garage - me? I live in an apartment and still do it in the parking lot.

The good news is, apparently even a decade later, there has been no change in the process since then.

I supply my own Mobil 1 and CM replacement filter elements and change my own oil.
I've done it before but I let my friend who is an Acura master tech do the work. He has a good eye and I always like a second opinion on my maintenance.
