    I forgot to use gloves! ME! Me who hates to get her hands dirty!

    And I got a ton of oil on my hands and my right arm and a ton more on my driveway. Yes, even WITH an oil pan.

    Off to get some kitty litter now.

    For me, I'm not sure it was worth the hassle. I'm so afraid I didn't tighten the bolt enough...or the filter enough...or whatever.

    But ... It does build character! And now I won't die without ever having changed my own oil! :)

    Hopefully I won't die FROM changing my own oil!
