Why not man up and DIY?

It's hardly difficult to take out a sump plug, put on a new washer, undo a filter and put it all back and fill it with oil?

Stick a hosepipe in the top once the oil has drained out and give it a wash out with water*, should do the trick




*probably not a good idea to do this either TBH
