basic oil filter

if you are looking at the car's engine straight on it is on the left side of the motor. it's down low and you might need to take some things out to get to it from the top like your intake.

o good, synthetic is the wat to go then , but the price is about 2 - 3 times a quart of regular oil , but its worth it

im yet to try the greddy full synthetic oil

I use a Bosch Filter. Autozone has a device that goes right over the filter fitting it perfectly and u can use a ratchet to get it off. better then the old strap wrenches. The filter is a little akward to get at, but nothing so hard you can't do your self.

P.S. I was using full syn. but I am now going with Mr.Nickleye's suggestion to use 20w 50. I buy Castrol High Mileage. I'm not sure of what I'll use in the winter. 20w 50 doesn't sound like it'll cut it.

20w-50 in summer, 10w-40 winter.
99% of the oil out there has 'detergent' in it to help keep the engine clean.

If you change it regularly at 3-4k miles, the engine will stay clean inside.

Same goes for anti-freeze. Its cheap enough to change every other year. Helps keep the corrosion from building up.

Same with diff oil, and power steering, and tranny, too.

I don't know about that...

I'm using Mobil Delvac1 5w40 in my Subaru and changing the oil every 10k or so. I'll be changing the filter at 5k and sending an oil sample out for analysis just to make sure everything is fine and dandy.

Just think... use a good quality oil, Mobil 1 or the like, and a bypass setup with submicronic depth filter, and you'll never have to change your oil again. Just the filters, and add oil as necessary due to leakage, or burn, but also to freshen up the additive packets.
