My car needs it oil changed, but I am too lazy to do it myself, and too poor to have anyone else do it. Any suggestions?

Make your girlfriend do it. You'll only have to sacrifice sex for a month or two.

Haha, you're funny. Look at my location, and then think about your suggestion (and no, I am no implying I have a boyfriend) If you want to read up on Vermont girls, take out a dictionary, and look up "cow"

Changing oil is not difficult on most cars. First check your owner's manual to see how much oil you need, go buy that many quarts of oil and a new filter (if you know the make and model of your car, any auto parts store will be able to tell you what kind of filter you need.) Now get something to hold the oil (a wide and deep pan with enough volume to hold the contents of a full sized milk jug will do) and crawl under the front of your car. You should be able to find a large tank with a bolt coming out of it. Unscrewing this bolt will cause the oil to start to drain, so make sure you aren't directly under it when you do this. Try to get all of the oil into your pan. Once all the oil is drained out, put it in a sealable container, you can dispose of it at almost any gas station. Screw the bolt back in, and locate the oil filter in your car. You know what it looks like since you already bought a new one, and most of the time they are located in an easily reached place on the side of your engine. Some filters require "filter wrenches" to unscrew but a lot of the time you can do it with your hands. You might want to ask the dude at the auto parts store about this when you are buying the new filter. There will probably be a small amount of oil in the old filter, try not to let it get everywhere since oil stains concrete pretty well. Screw in the new filter, and don't make it too tight. Pop the hood of your car, find the oil cap, take it off, pour in the new oil with a funnel so you don't spill it everywhere all over your engine. Check the oil level with a clean dipstick when you are done to make sure you put in enough. Done!

(Is it too late to add a poll to your initial post, Itstoearly? You could have a number of suggestions, and we could vote on which one is the best/most popular.) Well, if you're that persistant you could always drive it around until the parts start grinding together and the engine catches fire.

But what if that fails? If he's too lazy to change his oil, I'm pretty sure he'd be too lazy to buy a bike and ride it around town.

that's true, but also, "In Soviet Russia, car drives you!" So shouldn't the car be complaining about changing your oil?

How about just 1 choice: do nothing cause I'm too lazy. Single choice polls kick ass.

Ger someone to do it for you through the 'intarweb'. They can do anything with that these days.

Have you tried not needing the car? That seems to be the simplest solution. If your car is giving you trouble because of maintenance, sell the car.

I'd ride a bicycle myself. If I didn't have to drive close to 100 miles a day in a typical day.

But selling my car takes even more work then changing the oil. And so does getting a girlfriend.... I can't see a viable solution, here.

Hit your friends with a stick. Then make them change it by threatening to hit them more.
