Hey Scotty, love your videos been watching for 2 years now. What do you think of the drive in 10min oil change placers? I’ve heard different opinions about them and I wanted to get your opinion.

Scotty explains why you shouldn't take your car there at the start of this video: https://youtu.be/MMayr0w4o8k

They're terrible, lots of disaster stories coming out of those joints. I personally know of one myself where they drained someone's transmission and dumped 5 quarts of additional oil into the engine, destroying both. (The company had to be sued to get them to pay for the damage.)

Do it yourself. If you can't, find professional mechanics who will allow customers to supply their own oil and filter for them to install. My now-father-in-law has known the people at the shop we use for over 20 years, and they allow us to provide new oil at filters. Theyjust charge for labor. Normally, I do almost all of my own maintenance, but I had brain cancer last year, and it affected my coordination. My wife took my 2017 Mustang for the change.

Don't trust any so-called 10-minute oil change joint.
