Today I changed out my oil for the first time and it wasn't as bad as I thought. I thought that since the dealer charges in excess of $200.00 the job was going to be tough. Only wall I hit was the drain plug. I wasn't sure if it required a Torque or Allen. (spelling wrong?) After calling the dealer they said it should be a Allen. Removed the drain plug and removed the Oil filter housing. My buddy had the removal housing thing so I didn't have to buy one. Process was fairly easy. Ended up adding about 9-Quarts of oil, is that about right? Is there anything else I need to do? Added the new washer and gasket also. Thanks. How many miles should I wait until the next oil change? This weekend only Kragen Auto has a 5% Discount on all
purchases.


Great!

What kinda oil did you spring for?
