Default DIY Oil & Filter change a snap

I just completed our 5K mile oil and filter change in about 25 minutes. If you've thought about doing it yourself, don't hesitate.
I used the Pella 6000 (will NEVER do an oil change the old fashioned way again), to quickly extract the oil, and a regular filter wrench to swap out the filter. I put in the specified 4.5ltrs of Castrol 505.01 oil and a Mann filter, and dropped off my used oil at a local indie bike shop.

There was no mess, no problems and I saved money. Why pay $$$ for someone to do what you can easily do yourself?
