Look at oil temp upon starting car.

Question: How much oil needs to go on this filter? I've only ever used dry-flows.
And how often should I clean it?

Yeah, getting it taken care of.

USMCASA · 05-17-2011, 04:53 PM

maybe they preheated the oil before putting it in your car

I use this stuff:

CRC Industries Automotive Product Detail

Remove the MAF (2 screws), spray and wipe clean with a microfiber or shop towel and then replace the MAF. It's as easy as pie and takes a whole 10 minutes for both sides.

If you wonder if they changed your oil, look at your oil filter, it should be a new one (no road dirt etc) Also, check the dip stick, the oil should be clear and clean. Joy ride is my bet. I would be pissed! This is why I change my own oil.

Washed the Z, filled up the tank, put 3M Tape in certain areas and getting it pack like a mule for ZdayZ.

Finally months after being lazy, I painted my oil cooler block off plate flat black. Instead of the silver plate I had behind the grill. Will look alot better now. I'll post pics later.

Just received my HPS Tubes and K&N Drop-ins. Installed the drop-ins, got my hands oily, tubes will wait till tomorrow when I'm at work and have tools.

Now, time to get coffee.
