Congrats! It all starts to go up from there. First you start doing your own oil changes then you start getting into bigger things like tearing down your engine and from there you can start doing bigger internal and turbo stuff. Keep going with the learning because you'll be happy you did and can do all these fun things yourself.

Yeah, oil changes are more inconvenient than difficult.

Awesome, congrats. Taking that step and realizing how capable you are of doing the work yourself is huge.

But, I demand an answer - did you install a nitrous kit before learning how to change your own oil?
