The KTM asks for it pretty much after every couple of hours, and the difference is noticeable by even a hack like myself.
It only holds a little over a litre of the stuff, which is part of the reason for the frequency.

Soooo do I look as young as I look?
I go every 5,000 miles. I take the Jetta to the dealership and get raped up the ass when its time to pay. However, they do vacuum my car.
Worth it.

I have a VW.
I was thinking of buying a Honda or Ford so that I could change my own oil. Then I starting thinking about all the crap around my house that I don't do and really think its better just to pay for it.

Well, with a Honda or Ford at least Yiffy Lube could do it as opposed to a troupe of tiny oopmah musicians from the Fatherland.
Car companies like to tell their customers that they HAVE to come to the dealership for an oil change. It's just toooo difficult for the average customer.

There's nothing you shouldn't be able to do unless you just flat out don't have the space (or tools) in terms of maintenance.
I thought brakes were difficult until I saw a video on how to do them.
In fact the hardest maintenance to do on my car IS an oil change. And that's only because of the placement of the oil filter. (on an SI, the filter is way up on the passenger side wheel well....and you have to contort your arm a little bit)
Yeah it's all pretty easy. Changing the transmission fluid is bit scary without a lift though.

Listen, Princess. YOU said that YOU didn't know how to change oil for a foreign car. OUR FRIENDSHIP IS FULL OF LIES.

I like the AB in the GB

Or requires some special tool like the Volvo S60 I used to have.

It costs what, like $20-30 to get an oil change most places? Sooo not worth it to change my own in the cars at that price, I suppose if I had a rare vehicle I'd do it myself.
Bikes are a different story, the shops want $70 or so to do it

I think she's referring to the fact that being completely underneath a car to do the work without it being on something holding the entire thing up is the scary part. I used to have an isuzu trooper. Had so much clearance underneath it, I could slide under and do everything without even jacking it up. The lack of clearance on my Mustang is bothersome in the fact that any accident with the jack is guaranteed pancake.
