Thanks for stopping by! Truthfully, I think changing oil is actually easier than fixing a clogged drain to your sink (if you’re talking about unscrewing things under the sink). About the only way you can screw it up is to add the oil back without remembering to screw back in the oil drain plug 🙂

I never would have even considered trying to do something like that myself. I’ve done other things DIY around the house though like fixing clogs, patching walls, repairing leaks, etc. My dad does a lot of DIY on his truck to save money but I’ve never tried anything auto related.

Thanks for stopping by! I would ask for forgiveness vs. asking for permission 🙂 You can also change it at any gas station if you’re serious about giving it a try!

It would be difficult to change the oil right now since I live in an apartment with a parking spot. Not sure I’d be allowed to or have room to do it.

Wow, that sounds pretty awesome. Especially the oil change and movie tickets. Any idea where I could get started with that as a mystery shopper, or should I just google it?

Thanks for the cool tip!!!

They pay for a basic oil change and usually a $5-10 dollar shoppers fee in exchange for you to fill out a form and explain how they did on customer service, cleanliness, etc. I don’t mystery shop a ton, but I do to get things that I want: dinner, movies, oil changes. I haven’t paid for a movie in a longgg time, but I’m at the theaters a lot 🙂

That’s a great point! I’ve never really been to the oil change shop, so I don’t know what the normal wait times are like.

I usually get the materials and set the oil draining in about 5 minutes. Then I’ll go cut the grass or do some other “messy” type of outdoors chore and return after about 30 mins. I’ll then close everything back up and add the oil after changing the filter. It takes about 10 mins of actual devoted time because I can multitask while the oil is draining. If I had to guess, this is probably less time than you’d have to wait at an oil change place.

Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks for stopping by! Can you expand on this a little bit? It sounds like a good potential opportunity. Are you saying that you mystery shop for the oil changing business?!?
