I do, but I always have the mechanic do it.

Not specifically, but I'm sure I could figure it out, if I chose to do so. I've changed the oil in the ATV, and various mowers. I prefer to let the garage do it, I get it done with some other regular maintenance (switching winter/summer tires). It's cheap, so...

Engine oil? Transmission oil? Transfer case oil? Differential oil? Popcorn oil? Caster oil? What freakin oil?

I've never changed it on my present vehicle. I did on my previous one, though. I could probably figure it out, but I just haven't.

I used to work at gas stations when I was a lad. One of them had mechanics and I used to do some of the basic stuff like oil changes, tires off and on the rims...at all of them I would do really basic stuff like replacing fuses, bulbs, headlamps, wiper blades, batteries...

I haven't owned a car for nearly 25 years.

Yes, but I don't do it. Too much hassle trying to get to the filter.

I know how to. It's not at all complicated. It's also not worth my time to do it myself.

Yes. I take it to the place and they do it...I sit in the car with Ethan, they give him a sucker and we wait. That's how I change my oil.

The inference would be the "engine oil" you listed. All other lubricant locations may well require explanation to non-gearheads.

Yes: ask my SO to take the car to the shop for its usual check/oil-change.

OK, OK, I picked "no." I could figure it out, with internet help, in a pinch, though.

Yes, but I am at a wonderful part of my life when I can pay someone else to do it. I have had enough of dirtygrimy greasy jobs. I'm over it.

Yes, but I haven't done this in at least 10 years. I used to change the oil in my Jeep when I lived in Florida. I was a poor teacher at the time!

I think so.... but with this very new car, it's hard to tell. I could probably drain the oil, and put new in, but the oil filter is hidden and under another gauge... and for only $19 I'll let the dealership do it.

On my older cars, I could, and did occasionally.

Yes, and I've both helped and done it solo many times. Started out in 1961 with my 1959 MG-A sports car. I've been so involved with all makes of cars doing so many things I've actually lost count.

I'll say "I think so"

I've never done it, but I've watched it done all my life... and I've had it explained to me.

I'm sure I could do it if I had to.

The same goes for changing a tire.
