It's not actually too bad. I am getting used to it. Takes me 5 minute (if that). I like the fact my engine is protected from debris and rocks from underneath with this plastic cover. :twocents)

I'm sure its not $149 for an oil change but if they tried to get you to pay that much i wouldnt be suprised. I use to have a Cadillac CTS and it was being serviced I asked how much it costs to get the brakes done and he quoted over $600 dollars. Im sure they draind the brake fuild and all but still... cmon man. But yeah the only reason i dont change my oil myself like AK and a lot of people is cause i happen to get a free year of changes.

It is not necessary to remove any more the 4 bolts to gain access that allows oil draining and install of new oil filter.
