Well after a few days of driving, I did not notice a change in temp, average temp now is between 190 to 195 with Redline 5w30 that's at 20 minutes of driving half on highway half on street, I did notice a change in motor noise, seems a bit quite compared to before at idle and full throttle. Temps get a little past 220 with hard driving.

One more thing I used jacks instead of Rhino ramps, I also took the undertray off completly. Could have just pulled the flap down as mentioned previously but I wanted to get a good view of the under carriage and all components and AK was right very easy, this oil change was the cleanest and easiest I have ever performed! For those of you thinking how I was thinking that maybe you could use a low pro jack and put it on ramps.....very bad and unsafe idea as I noticed you would have to raise the car extremely high to get on the ramps. I think next oil change I may try RP and see if there are any remarkable differences, next oil change will be in about 8 months!!! Also saved a ton of $$$ doing it myself! Thanks again AK370z
