[C320-list] C320 Oil Change

[Jane & Ken]

Having been "without a job" (retired) for 18 years I fully agree and would add another item--- but I can not remember what that item was---Oh DUH??

1) you are still working, and don't have the time
2) you have more money than you know what to do with (if so, buy a bigger boat)
3) you are lazy and haven't yet figured out how to get the wife-mate to change the oil
4) you just had your manicure and didn't want those nice black stains around you cuticles
5) you don't spend enough time griping on this list about the boat tasks you love to do
6) unlike many of us, you'd rather sail than do maintenance chores
7) you were a stink potter in a previous life, and don't know engines
Out of curiously, how much does it cost to have your oil and filters changed?

I call my mechanic every spring and the next time I go to the boat it
has 
new oil in the engine and gearbox; new oil and fuel filters too. I don't

know what he uses but there's never any mess. :)
