Can you all give me an idea of changing your own oil, please? With a car, there are multiple options for oil changes for a reasonable price. With the motorcycle, the internet tells me. . . man up and get my hands dirty.

I have never changed my oil myself - car or motorcycle. I have a real fear I'll do damage by under-tightening this or over-tightening that. Maybe, I'll forget a washer, not lubricate a seal or strip something. Even if the process works, start to finish, I have to acquire and learn to use a torque wrench, buy a filter removal tool, buy a new filter, buy new oil, dispose of the old oil, and then reseal my currently sealed and working engine.

You ride, what do you do?
