Congrats ! Maybe you can work your way up to changing your wiper blades.
I'll unashamedly say that changing wiper blades is often ridiculously more complicated than it should be.
But can you change your own oil?

I'm a 23 year old and literally every one of my close friends (both guys and girls) know how to do that. And we're your average liberal recent college grad millennials. It's not that complicated of a task. Get over yourself.
Liberals like yourself who call AAA on the cellphone or offer to pay a passing homeless bum to change a tire shouldn't claim that's knowing how to actually change a tire.
I have never changed a tire. Of course, that is because I don't insist on utilizing a mode of transportation that involves dragging 3,000lbs of metal everywhere I go for my sole use.
I'd much rather walk or take the subway and not have to worry about things like changing tires or finding/paying for a parking spot. But hey, if it makes you feel superior to deem yourself more self-reliant than me, go for it.

What person over 15 doesn't know how to use a jack/crank and a tire iron? I could give those tools to a child and they could change it without any direction.
If you posted about changing your oil or replacing spark plugs, then you'd be correct, but you brought up something slightly harder than pumping gas...

Seriously. Even if you haven't actually changed a tire yet, if your car has a jack/spare tire and a manual still in it, you could learn how to do it on the spot if you have at least a 5th grade education.

The car wasn't mine, brother - I take public transit to work too. You should be twice as impressed with me now!

Can you churn butter, or repair a bayonette? There's little evolutionary advantage to changing a flat tire. You'd be better off spending your time specializing in a field that generates greater income and paying someone to change your tire.

I have people to do that for me. Why should I risk getting injured or dirty.
Do you change you own oil too?

Kara has posted it took Adam over an hour once. Portland airport; returning from indoor meet back east. Millrose, or a Boston meet maybe.
Am not making this up. Was discussed extensively here. And Adam had been bragging about getting his contractor license beforehand. After...........not so much.
Don't you work in a auto repair shop?
Where do you live?
I am 18 and live in the Midwest and everyone knows how to change a tire and oil. We live in the suburbs too. My friends and I have even raced to see who can change their spare the fastest. One time we even all changed our oil during lunch at school. Get over yourself.

Typical baby boomer, always feeling the need to justify why you are better than millennials. Insecurity at its finest. Way to go though man, top notch male specimen you are. Probably have 22 inch biceps and 12 inch dong too or surely you wouldn't be alpha enough to change a car tire.
Knowing how is meaningless if you can't loosen the lugnuts. That eliminates most females and runners from the task.

In that case, I'll change your tire change the wipets and top the fluids, while you program my cell phone so I can see the pictures of my grand kids on that g'all durn thing. And turn off them Amber alert calls in the middle of the night, too.

My girlfriend churns butter, if you know what I mean.

Lumberjack beard, girl hands.
Only poor people change tires themselves.
