"Do-It-Yourself"

It's kinda hard when you don't know much about cars at all. Please don't laugh at what you are about to read.... And if you do laugh please laugh in silence.

I don't "know" how to change the oil.

... well I do, but I've done it like once and someone was there to help me. Anyways...now that the cats out of the bag...

If anyone is doing any type of mod...it could be changing oil or air filter. If you dont mind I would like to watch. None of my close friends have a g35, they're either driving EVO,WRX. So I could use all the help I can get. Thanks!

I know...it's pathetic about the oil change. Thats why when they offered me free oil change for 4 years I was in heaven. Until they scratched my car!!!

I won't be doing my own oil changes until after the warranty runs out. Too many problems with other dealers (Saturn, Ford, Toyota) saying that their POS vehicle died b/c I didn't do the maintenance right.

I'd gladly show you how to change your oil and do other routine maintenance, but you would have to drive up to me. I used to live out there in Fairfax, but I moved more out to the burbs. I'm in MD now.

I wish I could make it, but I'll be out of town this weekend. I'll definitely try and make the next one.

Maybe the agenda can cover a maintenance/upgrade session. I'm sure there are probably some people here who could use a differential, crankcase, tranny fluid change. I'd even offer up some tools.
