geesh, and here I am complaining about spending twenty dollars to buy the oil, oil filter, drain pan (my old one came up missing lol), 6 spark plugs, and a deepwell socket for the plugs.


approximately twenty minutes, and the oil is changed, all the plugs replaced, new oil filter in place (and an oil saturated foot as I stepped in the drip pan when the neighbors dog startled me, lmao)
