AK, thx for thewriteup.

I did my 1st oil chnage today at 5000 miles. Ive had the car for a year and 4 months now. First oil change done at the dealer at 2100 miles back in sept.

I use mobil one 5w30 with filter magnet and KN filter. I dont use magnetic plug i think its overkill. Imho.

I bought the rhino ramp but i think next time im going to buy the raceramp instead. Car too low for rhino ramps so i had to use some wooden boards but the ramps kept slinding.

I only put 5 qts of oil in. Manual says 5 and 1/8. I wondered if it makes any difference.

Ive never do oil change in any of my prevous cars. I just took it to the dealersip. Now that ive done my first oil change i reaaly like it im going to do all oil change at home from now on.

Sorry for typos. Typed via two finger on ipad.
