Oil filter location on 2004 trailblazer 4.2

Couldn't agree more! I definitely do not change my own oil! The heck with that! Especially for the proper disposition of recycling used motor oil. I'll let the shop handle that!

. Yeah it’s just not worth the hassle ! .. Oil run down your arm - all over the chassis then the driveway when it misses the drain pan - old oil filter gasket get stuck on engine then you have a leak.. Plus the shop personnel will notice any deficit in other important fluids or items that will need attention ASAP - - dirty air filter - a drive belt that’s in dire need of replacement, etc.. These things often go unnoticed by the DIYer’s. Basically the days of diy automobile maintenance and repair are over with - and have been for ‘some time’ now.
