Anyone done it? How difficult is it compared to other cars?

 

i am sure a lot of us have done it.

just as easy as any other car. good access to filter, drain plug.

 

easiest car i have changed the oil on.

 

Does anyone know the recomended mileage to get ur first oil change?

 

Try the searcdh function, this has been talked about alot.
Everyones reply will be different
I did mine at 500, then 3000, 6000, 9000 etc.



It is a very easy oil change, just watch the oil filter drainage and where it goes.
This was on my 1st oil change

 

I agree....the easiest car I have done yet![sm=signs003.gif]

 

it gives you a schedual on when to get all your regular stuff done....oil changes, tire rotations, tranny service, ect. I believe the oil changes are every 5000 miles.

 

I had the same issue. Can't these engineers figure out a way to keep directly below the filter clear. I just put a rag over that line but I'm sure someone on these forums has come up with a clever idea to solve this.

With a nail, I punch a hole in the lower end of the filter and let it drain. After loosening the filter with the filter wrench, I then slide a Wal-Mart bag over the whole filter and spin it off. I don't spill a drop.

 

I have to jack mine up to get to the oil plug. I'm too thick through the middle to crawl under it!
Other than that, it is pretty straight forward. The oil filter is easy to remove and replace.

Thx,
