You mean those things with the ducks painted on them, plus the text "flows to

The biggest problem with home oil changes is getting rid of the oil. I used
to do it but every time I would go to Auto Zone, Checker, etc… Their oil drum
was always full. I finally gave up and just get the free car wash when I do it.

So on the Subaru engine the oil filter sticks straight up. Does that make it
incredibly easy to change or incredibly messy?

About the only place I'll have change the oil anymore is when I take the car
in for the major service interval at the dealer. They carry the oil I use and
I figure a genuine Subaru oil filter isn't any worse than the M1-108's I use
normally.
Other than that, it gets changed at home anymore. I've discovered that
throwing a pan under the car and pulling the oil/plug filter takes so little
time that it's actually faster for me to do it. I generally will do it before
a trip out of town and will pull the oil filter/plug and then clean/vaccum the
car out while the oil is draining. Once I'm done vaccumming, I put everything
back together and refill the car with an appropriate amount of oil. Takes me
less time than waiting at an instant lube place, and then I know what
oil/filter is actually in/on the engine.
Sadly, I haven't found anything fun drawn on my car's oil filter when it
comes from the dealer.

We bring Mobil 1 oil filters in when we have the local oil change place
change the oil. Last oil change, neither my car or the work van had them on
their when I looked about 3000 miles after the change. After some heated
discussions concerning the theft of my oil filters and shenanigans that might
require a review of whether they are really using Mobil1 1 oil, they changed
both vehicles while I watched them open new bottles of oil in front of me.
Fortunately this was the first time I used them, and the last time.

A local guy went out to change his oil today. Found a penis drawn on his oil
filter. That filter had been installed by Jiffy Lube.
Same company that billed us for an oil change a few years ago (fleet
account) for a car that my business partner’s step daughter crashed and totaled
a year before.
