I do all my work. I have trust issues.
My main headache is getting rid of the used oil. I drain into buckets and take them to a quick lube place and they let me pour it in their tank.

Local O'Reilly let's me drop mine and I even put my empty jugs in their trash. But you can't tell them that your fuel is mixed in the oil. Most all places are like that. But I use the fuel to clean my drain pans and just mix it in the oil.

Local Advance Auto will take up to 5 gallons at a time. Plus my town has an oil/hazmat collection location for residents. Between the 2 I should be good.

The O'Reilly thing has been great for me. I had a friend that had a big truck shop and I dropped all my oil there. Plus if I had something come up that I couldn't do or didn't want to do, he did it. Well they closed the shop so it kinda put some kinks in things. But I have never in all my years never had a place not take my truck oil. If you explain it's one oil change. Lol, I was being lazy once a long time ago, before I became friends with the shop owner. I had like 40 gallons and I talked an Advance into taking it all.
