I'm due for an oil change, but I now have a driveway so I can finally do it myself instead of paying $40 for a mobil station (Mobil 1) to do it. So I guess I should buy what is needed to do so--jackstands, oilpan, etc.
But I remember a commercial from about a year ago for a valve that you replace your oil drain plug with, that allows you to simply attach a keyed hose for easy changing--I would think this is a good opportunity to get one of these. Problem is I forget who it was--one of the big names. In searching I could only find this similiar item:
http://www.fumotovalve.com/
Has anyone used any of these? Recommend them? Do they work well with the focus? Do you know what the other big-name brand is?
Also searching here I found this item:

which seems to be an even better bet. Same questions, who has used this and what do you think? I assume I would still need to get the jackstands and pan to remove the filter though, so it may not be of much use.
