Yesterday I went crazy. I actually did some work.
Changed the oil in my grandson's truck. He is transferring to germany soon and brought it home to keep here while he is there.
Anyway. I don't have a lift to raise it up or a pit to walk under it. What I do have is a pretty good floor jack. So I raised it up and crawled under it. On the cold hard concrete.
Been tossin and turnin all night, my lower spine is killing me. Finally gave up the ghost and took 4 ibuprofen about 30 minutes ago, around 4:30 AM.
It seems to be easing up a little.
I decided to do it myself because it costs up to $80 to let someone else change it for you. That's worth it. Except I'm trying to cut my expenses down some. Prices on groceries and gas are sky high here and not looking to come down soon.
I bought valvoline restore and protect 5w-30 oil in a 5 quart bottle. Cost $38.99 for the jug. Now get this. Same oil in a 1 quart bottle is $11.99 per quart. 5 quarts of that is $60.
I have a bunch of oil filters for the truck already, so I didn't have to put out for that this time.
I have watched videos about this particular valvoline oil. They all have good things to say about it, so I am giving it a shot.
What oil do you guys use???
