Even if you have the spin on filter don't ignore the screen unless it has been removed. I find it interesting that everyone so far has found it necessary to mention the twister pliers. I have had my A&P license for 30 years and never owned a set.

Figure $20 for a filter and $25 for oil to do your own oil change, so less than $50 if you want to figure in the cost of a bit of safety wire and the twister...So add the $60 for your A&P and $110 isn't too bad. I change my own, and although I'm a bit messy sometimes, it's simple and $60 saved is $60 earned. Of course, I have the spin on filter adapter (highly recommended) and the quick-drain (even more highly recommended) so changing oil is so simple even I can do it! > > Larry > N99340 > > ---- Scott Morgan <ercoupen25...@...> wrote: > > Geez, I had to pay $114 for an oil change and I thought that was way too much! > > So, I bought the wire twister pliers and now do my own changes. > >  > > Scott > > > > --- On Fri, 12/12/08, ercou...@... <ercou...@...> wrote: > > > > From: ercou...@... <ercou...@...> > > Subject: RE: [ercoupe-tech] Re Annual inspection > > To: garrard...@... > > Cc: djcalie...@..., noshit...@..., [email protected] > > Date: Friday, December 12, 2008, 7:47 PM > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > $250 for an oil change? I change my own oil.
