Hello,

I just went to oilchangers, yes that’s the actual name of the establishment

They forgot to tell me that I need my car off during the oil change… I drive a 2020 Prius.

They said it was fine as long as it wasn’t spitting oil back out and the car is a hybrid system.

Am I being lied to? This is my first time getting one on my own

    Way cheaper to do it yourself but it requires the tools knowledge and space that 95% of people don’t have

      A few dollars worth of tools from Harbor Freight and a level surface on which to park the car. That isn’t too much for most people. Granted, many people don’t have a driveway, but space could likely be found. We used to do it in the mall parking lot and brought the used oil to Autozone to be recycled.

      It’s a viable option for many people who don’t know it, and my goal is to make them aware. YouTube has dozens of videos teaching how to do it, people just need to know it’s possible.
