yes!
thought I save some money while at it, I figure $20 saved with dino juice, and $40 saved with full synthetic in DIY fashion.
1yr gone by, the new car is almost at 40,000km...

On the winter I bring it in, too cold but otherwise aprox 6 x per year
Yup. Watch the parts stores for package deals. Found a deal awhile back for 5 quarts & a filter for $14.99US. Bought the limit for all my vehicles.
I do everything else I can, too. Pumps, belts, brakes, bearings, heads, whatever... But I'm very fortunate to have a good friend who's a professional mechanic. He doesn't do it for me. He supervises. The whole "give a man a fish..." thing. I've learned quite a lot through the years -- enough to be glad I'm a copier guy!
I wish he had a copier. He'd never pay a service bill. I owe him big.

You got problem?
I used to do all the work on my cars. I've been a marine engineer for almost 7 years, not in the last 5 years though.
But now days , I own a brand new car, which means any work I do could void my warranty.

No way. When I drove a 67 SS Chevelle, I did it all, but the truck belongs to the boss, and we have accounts all over town to do the work.

I used to change my own oil and rotate my own tires. I've fixed radiator hoses, changed batteries, wiper blades, radiator fluid, brake fluid, and lubed door hinges that got squeaky. That's pretty good for a girl. I bet some of your wives can't do that. But, honestly, after I hit my 40's I appreciate others doing it for me and don't mind paying them for it. Kind of like getting my hair or nails done. I could do it myself, but why?
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Coke in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!".
I take care of all the maintenance on my personal cars, but on the company vehicle I let the company take care of it.
Accidents don't just happen. They must be carelessly planned.
Absolutely. $14.00 for 5 qts and filter vs. nearly $40.00 at an oil change center. And I'm faster than they are.
NEVER ASSUME ANYTHING
You're supposed to change oil??????
