How hard is it to change Mitsubishi Montero oil at home?

First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also help your car perform down the road.

Why is my Mitsubishi Montero spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?
