I know I'm happier letting someone else change the oil on my vehicles.
Having first degree burns on my hands and forearms for the next two weeks after changing oil got old when I was in my 20's.
Gotta change that oil HOT. Gotta. Can't do it any other way. You're leavin' all the sludge in the oil pan if you don't take it out, run the pants off it, and dump the oil the moment you get home.
So your fingertips get burned as you try to fumble the drain plug that last thread out of the pan. Your hands get burned as the initial burst of boiling-hot oil pushes out past the plug.
Or you can just spin the plug off and let it drop in the bucket of hot oil, and get burned fishing around for it later.
Then there's the filter. I have yet to own a vehicle that didn't have the exhaust pipe making a complete 360 around the oil filter for some reason. Good luck getting the filter out without getting at least one burn on your forearm.
No room for gloves. No room for sleeves. It's bare hands and arms, or you're not getting in there.
Wait for it to cool off? Who's got time for that? I don't. Besides if you let it cool off, the sludge won't come out!

Today's Featured Article - Upgrading an Oliver Super 55 Electrical System - by Dennis Hawkins. My old Oliver Super 55 has been just sitting and rusting for several years now. I really hate to see a good tractor being treated that way, but not being able to start it without a 30 minute point filing ritual every time contributed to its demise. If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
