Allow me to respond for ol @
PetrolioBenzina.
You see, Twin-Dragons, ol PetrolioBenzina lives in Oregon.
Hell, they won't even let them pump their own gas in Oregon.
Now, he being in Oregon, the environmentally correct state, he has several constraints on changing his own oil.
* what to do with the old oil? How to safely transport it to a recycling center?
* used engine oil is a carcinogen (according to the folks in CA), therefore he would have to have a hazmat suit to handle it.
* disposing of the empty oil cans is a problem - they would have to be triple rinsed before recycling. Then what is he to do with the rinsate?
* and there is the oil soaked rags - they cannot be put in the trash to contaminate the land fills.
* the disposal of the old oil filter is a major problem - it cannot be effectively rinsed.
See, for some of us, it ain't all that easy.
