Subject:      Oil Change:  I know this sounds ridiculous...
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"


I know this sounds pathetic and ridiculous to most of you but I've never
changed my own oil.  Most of the issue is that I've never had a place to do
it before.  I'm about to embark on a 1500 mile round trip and feel that I
should change my oil before I go.  I'm scared that I'll screw it up and ruin
my whole trip.  How ridiculously easy is it?  Should I really do it myself
having no past experience?  Can anyone give me a detailed procedure (I'm
paranoid so the more detailed, the better).  I have a 1980 Air-cooled
Westfalia.  I'm heading to Tennessee (hot) so what weight should I run?
30W50?






Again, I apologize if this is beneath everyone; I'm just nervous as hell.

PS:  Are there any other "must-checks" before heading out on a trip like
this?
