How often do you change your oil?  Yeah, you, how often?  Well it takes me forever.  I’ll drive forever with that little check engine light flashing at me.  By the time I get around to it I will often be a couple thousand miles past where I should have been.  Am I really doing damage to my car?  I don’t know.  It’s not intentional; I just get busy or I forget.  Mostly I hate having to go and get it done.  It’s expensive and it takes a long time.  Okay, 20 minutes, but that’s not including driving time there and back.  I’d do it myself, but I just don’t know how.  And that’s just the car; I don’t think I’ve ever changed the oil in the lawn mower.

Now this little gadget seems to be an interesting solution.  The Oil Changing System makes it easy and fun(?) to change your oil at home, yourself.  It works a lot like a sprayer.  You pump it full of air, but instead of spitting liquid out, you are sucking liquid in!  Stick the hose down the dip-stick tube and suck the oil right out of the engine.  Then take the oil for disposal right in the unit.

Now, I realize that this is a $65 piece of plastic.  But, save some money on each oil change, or better yet, actually change your oil regularly and save on possible repair bills, and the thing’ll pay for itself in no time.
