    You don’t need a shop to change oil. Plenty of guys do it in their driveway. Just don’t do it on a windy day.

    All you need is a big drain pan, preferably one low enough to clear the axle and bumper (easier to back up over the pan when you're done than to drag it out and slop it everywhere). Throw in a strap wrench and you're usually good to go.

    Are dust shields required to be on trucks or can they be removed?

    Seem to recall they aren't required but honestly don't know.

    Not required far as I know. I’ve never had them on a truck.

    My neighbors are pretty cool, not sure they'd be cool with that though. And it tends to be cold as hell and snowing every time we're by the house during winter.

    Probably gonna have to order filters and stock up on oil whenever we can and just bring it ourselves.

    Yeah, it's not hard to do or anything. Although I would have to get a pump or something to transfer the old oil into the empty jugs. I don't see myself lifting 11 gallons into my pickup... yeah I'm a wuss.
