Before you judge someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when they find out you've judged them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

get on with it! it should only take half an hour, maybe an hour if you're inexperienced.

i did mine with the car on a jack at the side of the road.

Once a year!?

I'd change the filter at least twice a year if you plan on keeping oil in the engine for 12 months.

Offside rear, just before the rear wheel. If you jack up the rear corner, it's easy enough to change the filter lay on the ground. Make sure you release the fuel pressure before changing the filter.

See miata.net in the garage for more tips. :thumb-up:
