Is it time to change your oil?

4/26/2022

Colleagues,

Should I change the oil in my car myself, or should I hire someone else to do it?
 
This is an easy choice for me:
  • I have never changed my own oil so I would have to learn.
  • I don’t have the right tools so I would have to buy them.
  • I would rather dig in the garden.
  • The difference in expense between me doing it and someone else isn’t great enough to negatively impact my budget.
  • The person that changes my oil rotates my tires for free.
 
For my son Lance, things are a bit different:
  • He has changed his own oil many times.
  • He has access to the tools.
  • He gets satisfaction from changing his own oil.
  • The money he saves is significant in his budget.
  • He’s not worried about getting his tires rotated.
 
M=V/E (motivation equals value divided by effort).
 
To increase motivation you can increase value, decrease effort, or do both.
 
However, effort and value vary with each individual.
 
Cheers!
 
Frederick
