lol he's referring to my justified crusade against Royal Purple, the devil oil.

I hate Royal Purple for preying on quasi-gear heads. it's kind of sad.

I dont touch it. I stick with moble 1 synthetic but right now im on the dealerships oil. honestly.... if you have waited till 3,400Miles to do the change, you'll feel a difference with almost any oil. you just dont want a shitty brand cuz it could mess with your head gasket. never had an experience but someone warned me about royal purple doing that

By the way like said before mixing oils dosent hurt and you should probabaly add oil cuz the car still has the same oil it used for break in. You need to get out whatever is floating around. Did my first oil change at 1200ish miles.

Another thing is if your truley concerned just us the P.O.S jack in the back of the car or use your jack if you have one or use a friends and if your lookin at the car jack up the right side of the car and go under the front do the the change out. the plug in on the other side that will get the oil out.

^ haha yep!


i'm actually just waiting on the magnetic oil drain plug and my filter magnet. i have everything else. i ordered everything i needed earlier this week, and i get a package everyday from amazon, its like christmas everyday after work.

I had to pick up something from the dealer yesterday, so i just bought a quart of ester oil that they had their b/c i didn't feel like stopping somewhere else to save 3-4 bucks, i put that in, now i'm at just about the 'H' on the dipstick.

i got my oil filter today in the mail. i didn't realize how small it was. I was picturing something about the size of a large can of progresso soup, its like a small can of campbels, i got the hp-1008 K&N

After I completed the first oil change on our car with a Mobil 1 filter, I learned the M1-110 (K&N HP-1010 equivalent) is a larger capacity alternative to the M1-108 or HP-1008. There really aren't many downsides (if any at all in our application) to using a larger oil filter, so I'd say go with the larger one next time.
