I'm in the Pittsburgh area. Anyone know of any local mechanics in my area with experience in doing the motor / differential assembly oil drain and fill and replace the filter? After nearly 6 years and 127K miles, it is due to be changed, I don't believe in that "lifetime fluid" BS that carmakers tell you.

I've seen the videos of how to do it, and back in the old days, I'd be out in the garage under the car, doing it myself. But I don't have easy access to a garage or suitable work place anymore. And sliding around on the floor isn't fun anymore, I wouldn't do it without the car on a lift.

The Wexford SC wants over $600 for the job. I don't mind paying a reasonable price, but come on now.

According to the videos I've seen, it uses the Pentosin ATF9 fluid and that stuff is $20 a quart.
