Satisfaction that you know your own vehicle, how to maintain it, and that the maintenance was carried out by someone who has better than a middle school education and actually gives a damn about the quality of work....

PRICELESS!

 

Now that was funny! (and true)

 

MvCrash,
Agreed. And yes, they happen alot.
I have a friend who owns a garage, so I don't worry about those things and am spoiled.

Oh, I forgot to mention, I have been on of those folks who had to drive a screw driver through the oil filter to get it to spin off after going to a "QUICK LUBE."

We learn by mistakes

I have the same container as you Christian. Mine must be the Type R Edition, because neither of them have leaked....

 

Only if used to mean freaking expensive as all hell.

Cost of having some shop put in the wrong oil every other time:
about $1500 to machine shops and factory for rebuild parts
So far almost 2 mo. w/o truck while working on it
all free time (no time with family or doing anything else until done)

All in all, I would much rather deal with an oil spill or a leaky container just to make sure it gets done right....

Like a said before and nobody responded to, use the kitty litter containers. They kick ass.

 

For storage, I use one of those dirtbike fuel jugs. Thick plastic, no leaks, easy to transport, easy to pour oil out. Best thing I have found.

 

I just go to my local fry cook restaurant and pick up a few plastic 5 gallon Vegetable oil containers. It's free! and is very rugged.

 

Ok, this is the best idea I've heard yet.

Burger World, here I come!
