I just did my first oil change last night. It was very easy. Just remove 16 bolts and 3 fasteners, drop the splash pan and it's so easy that I didn't spill one drop.
I reused mine and no probs. I wonder at what point it becomes unusable. Or can you use a metal or stainless and not have to replace it all the time. And where can u get them other than the dealer?
