So how much to you figure you save changing your own oil and tranny fluid? I quit changing oil a long time ago. By the time I buy oil and filter there is very little savings. I figured my time was worth a lot more than the few bucks I saved. Also do you change your transmission filter? You have to drop the pan for that I believe, more than 2 bolts.Yeah. I took my car in for an Airbag recall and they were happy to give me a list of stuff that needed to be done... Oil change and Transmission fluid change... $175 or something like that...
2 Bolts.
Watch me, and report if you see any sweating.
I would have to say, as an individual roofer, that torching flat roofs is my specialty and the most enjoyable type of roofing for me. As a roofing company in Miami we specialize in residential roofing, roof repairs and maintenance including roof coating applications on flat roofs. We're doing a lot of metal roofs these days. I really can't see why anyone would want a tile roof in South Florida right now when there's a 6-8 month wait for concrete tile delivery and the prices are not all that far apart. Clay tile is just as high as metal.Welcome Mike. What type of roofs are your specialty?
I don't compare, but think just the oil change is $39.99 most places. I haven't replaced my Transmission fluid or filter on the current car, but the quote I was talking about didn't include that. It's just an inline filter.So how much to you figure you save changing your own oil and tranny fluid? I quit changing oil a long time ago.

I don't have a lift and I hate crawling around under cars. Did it too much in my youth when I had to to save a buck.
Well, I guess I've never forgotten so I'm not sure if it's possible to forget. It just seems like one of those things I might forget. Maybe I'm confusing with brake pad changes, where you have to remember to do things in a certain order...You can forget how to do an oil change? It's One bolt and a filter.
The (6) 2x4's, the (12) 1x2's, the required fire shovel, (6) 2x4 cardboard, (30) paper targets, the (6) 2'x2' metal stands, the (6) ar500 pie plates, the (6) pie plate holders weighs about 700 pounds. Since the range is 15 miles away, where I cross a creek, and up a dirt road a mile, is a bit much for my golf carts.I change my own oil mainly on principle: I know how good a job I did (unlike an unseen mechanic), I get satisfaction from it, and it's a useful skill which can be forgotten (not "like riding a bike"). How will I teach my kids to do it If I've forgotten how? If I save $4 fine but these days money's not the main reason.
Havasu, your range gear sounds like it'd fit in the back of a golf cart. You really keep (maintain, insure, etc.) a whole separate truck just for taking to the range?
Well, Brakes are different by vehicle, same general concept though. I like my car better than my truck since the car takes around 5 minutes per side, not including jacking up.Well, I guess I've never forgotten so I'm not sure if it's possible to forget.

Huh? How much is just the tire rotation? What is the gasket?I have my car at the dealer right now for a 6 qt synthetic blend Dextros, rotate tires, filter, gasket, and a 100 point inspection, for $89. Sure, they will probably say I need tire air change, snd spark plug rotation (jk) but with 20k on it, I'll decline everything.
Hah, wow. Did you know when you got into shooting that you'd have to buy a whole truck just to lug the gear?The (6) 2x4's, the (12) 1x2's, the required fire shovel, (6) 2x4 cardboard, (30) paper targets, the (6) 2'x2' metal stands, the (6) ar500 pie plates, the (6) pie plate holders weighs about 700 pounds.
