for those who are trying a DIY oil change at home and aren't too mechanically inclined please do some basic research and make sure you have the right tools or just take it to a lube shop/dealership.

one of my neighbors was attempting to do an oil change and had no idea what they were doing. some things to point out for a big wtf.

- no idea where the drain plug or oil filter was
- attempted to use an allen key to take the plug off(he came to ask me for some allen keys)
- one side was on a safety stand with the other side on a floor jack
- no chocks on the back(camry)
- had a little jug to drain the oil into(they made a mess before i could come back with a drain pan)
- to top it off his buddy was prying at the positive battery terminal with some kind of chisel and a pliers(makeshift hammer)

i lent them some of my tools so they managed to finish the job
