Since my Bundeswehr-times 20 years ago, I hate changing oil and oil filter so much, that I've never done it again.
Caused by the f.cking obstructed construction of the Volkswagen T3 "DoKa"-engine
For filling up the oil, you have to pull out a telescope-nozzle. It's so narrow, that you have to fill the oil in only drop by drop. Just a bit more, it'll swash out (mainly over your clothes..)
No kidding, for the full filling of a T3 DoKa-oil-supply you need more than half an hour!
The key moment for my hate of oil-changing happened also there, also at a VW T3.
The oil-screw stucked. After scratching my fingers, the wrench slipped off. Due the power, I gave to the wrench, I've slipped also down the stairs of the garage's pothole - the old oil filter felt on my head, the bucket with the old oil over my clothes
Since then I've never changed oil by myself. Fortunately all of the cars, I had and still have since that time (early 1991), are consuming oil. So I only fill up. And just filling up is o.k., even since over 100.000 km, even 200.000 km per car, with only filling up, there was never any oil-caused defect on them.
But every few years my cars got an oil-change: when the garagist or friends have done some other work on them. Then I've said "please change the oil, too". But for myself, I'll never do that any more.
