But your real objective is to drive people to your silly picture site,
not help them.
If people don't know how to change oil, they should let somebody else
do it and check afterwards of course.
Your cost is not much different from my local quick change outlet.
However, I prefer to do it myself to know it's right and to observe
and fix anything else I see in the process. (I drive GMC.)
I don't know if it's still true of Honda, but they used to use a
special crush gasket on the oil plug that required a replacement at
oil change. Failure to replace that plug and washer would result in a
moderate drip. My neighbor found out the hard way and went to the
dealer and purchased a bunch of plugs for the future.
