Who changes their own oil & filter

Just curious as it's such an easy but crucial job. Bought the oil & filter (£30) but just need to find the motivation. The old oil can be fed into the landfill (back to where it originated) bin over a couple of weeks or help fire up the incinerator.🙂

I just use the trolley jack. Jack to the max and pop an axle stand in for safety. Remove undertray bolts and drop it down. It's not heavy. Remove oil filter with removal tool on socket extension bar. It's the first time that needs a bit of thought. After that it's dead easy.
