I wonder what the dealership charges for an air filter change like that in the video.
Changing the air filter is one of the simple tasks on my El Camino that I could likely do in 60 seconds if I tried to work fast.
On my 85 Carrera getting the air filter box intake off is not horrible, but getting the dang clips to snap into place on the back side requires me to soap down my arm to get it shoved in far enough to get to the damn lower back side clip. I even have a zip tie on it to help me grab it. I really need a 100 pound skinny kid to reach into the tight space. It is sometimes easier to unbolt the AC compressor, and lay it over on the fender to have access to that lower clip. It is still a lot easier than the video above.
There are many cars that have the oil drain plug on the engine aimed right at a cross member of the car so any oil change will make a huge mess.
