I give my buddy at the place where I get my oil changed $10.00 and he does the labor as he has a machine that sucks out the old stuff and a manual pump to put it back in. Also, since your a newbie, the MTX takes 3 quarts of ATF, may I suggest some Mobil 1 synthetic ATF, $4.99 a quart at Autozone. So for $15.00 in parts and what ever your local quick lube guy charges, your all set and don't have to worry about it for some time down the road. Also you might want to get some friction modifier from the dealership, just a little more "peice of mind", thats all
