That being said, the oil change was the only easy maintenance item on that car. Everything else was stupid complicated and expensive. That's why its been replaced with a Grand Cherokee Overland 5.7 Hemi. Which has a 45 degree mounted filter, also a ****** mess.

Years ago when my wife bought her first car, it was a PT Cruiser.
For the next 36k, the dealer changed the oil (was part of the promo "we'll pay for the oil changes for the next 3yr/36k).
After the last oil change, I decided I would start doing them. I rolled that little bastard up some ramps, crawled under it and tried to take out the oil plug.
Didn't go so well. I found myself replacing the oil pan.
After I changed the pan out, my neighbor asked if he could try it. I said sure. It took about 5 hits from an air chisel to break the fking drain plug loose.
I was so pissed.
