La Rochelle – To the white city and back

Our intentions this morning was to get a much needed oil change for our van. We woke early and drove to the Speedy we had passed earlier that week. They took the van in and even had the correct oil filter, but did not have the height to lift the van and work on it. We decided to make our way to La Rochelle where we learnt there were two other Speedy’s. After having no luck and driving to every suggested shop in the area we gave up and headed to our next destination which is located in the Dordogne Valley.

Oh no that sucks. Is there no way of doing it yourself?

I could do it myself, but without any knowledge on the engine size, I haven't a clue as to how much oil would be needed. Plus I have no place to dump the used oil and I don't know where to buy a filter.

A real man would have changed it blind then drank the oil so it doesn't go to waste! That's what I used to do in Nam.
