well i did the first oil change/ tire rotation on sunday(tire roation last week end)oil life at 15% 10,202 miles.i used http://www.castrolsyntec.com/default...strol%20SYNTEC castrol syntec 5w20 and a fram filter. the oil filter was tough to get off so i had to get a oil filter wrench, 4$ and a lifetime warranty, i had to get it.the drain bolt came out like a champ, the washer looked great but i junked it, i got the new ones at 4 for a buck. other than having to jack the car up a little, this was the easiest oil change EVER!, i have been changing my own oil for 11 years. this car is easy!

yeah its even easier when you have ramps!
best investment i ever made. even though my car cannot make it up the ramps, the other cars that i have its very easy.
i dont like fram filters, i hear they are the worst.
i have used mobil 1,and k&n filters. but recently i heard from several sources that stp filters are really good.
if i could find some wixx filters i would use that over all. purolators are good too.
some people stay with the brand they trust most. i try and do some research before i put it in. i might as well pay the extra 2-3 bucks for a good filter.
right now in my car is royal purple and stp, feels solid. i want to try amsoil, but that too is hard to get around san diego.
