10 mins for my Mazda, 15 mins for Camry Vee6, <20mins for Honda Civic.
Next time just go over in your neighbors yard, dig a small hole first and drive over the hole with your vehicle. Now the oil has some place to go and not run all over. Viola.. oil changed!quote:

One of the advantages of changing your own is that you can make this job easy for next time. I've found that if you put a small amount of silicone grease on the gasket of a spin on filter it will come off much easier next time. Oil works too, but not quite as well. Leaving the filter on a long time can also make it difficult.quote:
