Here u go. I don’t think he loosen the drain bolt or loosen the filter but dad is supervising.I'm going to start working on my grandson. He's 12. We'll start with the lawn mower next weekend. I'll teach him to sharpen the mower blade and put string in the string trimmer too.
If I train him well, he may be doing jobs for me (ie properly) when I get too old to do them myself. If someone is interested they just need someone to show them how, and then watch as they do a job a few times to make sure they're doing it right. One thing that really stops many beginners is doing a job wrong, and then getting blamed.
In medicine we say "see one, do one, teach one." Learning to do tasks isn't quite as simple as that but it's the right idea.
If it was on the table, pretty sure this wouldn’t even be a post. Your wife do oil changes.?Lol, not sure I saw anywhere that she doesn’t want to change her own oil, maybe I missed it.
I’m not particularly fond on doing the dishes, scrubbing a toilet or ironing my clothes but I know how to do all of the above. Come to think of it my wife isn’t particularly fond of either of those three tasks either but I know she does all three.
I do my own work. Always have.Another data point, the Lexus dealer in the Philadelphia area charges $92 for a 6qt synthetic oil/filter change and u have to wait an hour. With a Fumoto engine drain ball valve, I turn the lever, have a 20 minute lunch and then swap in the new oil filter. Done in a total of 30minutes with a material costs of $32 (Pennzoil Ultra + Fram Ultra filter). I spend most of time draining the old back into the 5qt jug. Lol
I work at a dealer (GM) and an 8qt oil change with Mobil bulk, and acdelco filter is like $85ish.The dealer is probably cheaper. No jiffy lube for me ever.
Your last paragraph is spot on.
Can she - yes.If it was on the table, pretty sure this wouldn’t even be a post. Your wife do oil changes.?
Explain it to me...Please tell me you know better.

Write a how to book about your amazing feats titled “How I get women to do things they don’t want to - and how you can too.” You’ll make a fortune guaranteed.Can she - yes.
Has she - yes.
Does she on the reg. - no.
Well it's got to meet at least Dexos 1 gen2 so it can't be that bad.Bulk oil...ewwwww
I will work on training her son. I think he is is a little over 10.. Ripe age to learn about cars.
It would be a pretty boring book with lots of common sense advice but hey those sell every day.Write a how to book about your amazing feats titled “How I get women to do things they don’t want to - and how you can too.” You’ll make a fortune guaranteed.

Because over the last 50 years millions and millions of oil changes at thousands of locations have been performed for satisfied customers who don't spend time in internet forums populated by neurotics.I still don't understand why Jiffy Lubes are in business.
Actually they have not, there was always a piece about them scamming some customer at XYZ. It was always a hit in the 90's on the evening news but I'm sure their failure ratio is still low. Overpriced, under-skilled, and just plain bad.Because over the last 50 years millions and millions of oil changes at thousands of locations have been performed for satisfied customers who don't spend time in internet forums populated by neurotics.
I had one of my daughters holding the tape measure to set toe when she was 5. She did a fine job!It would be a pretty boring book with lots of common sense advice but hey those sell every day.
As for daughters I would say don't be afraid to start them early.

Your anecdotal evidence notwithstanding, yes they have. There's no other explanation.Actually they have not, there was always a piece about them scamming some customer at XYZ. It was always a hit in the 90's on the evening news but I'm sure their failure ratio is still low. Overpriced, under-skilled, and just plain bad.
I've used Valvoline for decades for my cars. They are imo, the only decent oil change place. They don't upsell, and they're friendly and well trained. I've used them on both the east and west coast, never had a bad experience there. On their satisfaction survey they specifically ask if you felt pushed to buy other services, which is against their policy. I have had fluids changed there besides oil too, but not because the employees were shoving them down my throat.I send my kids who don’t/won’t do their own to Valvoline. Here at least they do a good job and they send me some pretty good coupons on a regular basis. I’ve gotten 50% off twice now.
