nice one AK. just did my 2nd change today at 7606 miles. the first switch to Synthetic was at about 3250. added a cooler though
unfortunately i didn't think ahead and order the Purolator "XL" filter or the Red Line oil. just went with M1 in both cases. definitely easier to drop the splash guard once you know what's going on. I've taken it off 4 times so far, and only 2 oil changes lol.
next time i'll remember to order my stuff ahead of time so i can be cool like you
