how to DIY oil change 2008 gt500
#12
thanks for all the help guys, from now on i will be doing my own oil change. it was a breeze to do. took me less than 30mins went with the royal purple filter and the motorcraft 5w50 added 6 and half Quarts. next will be flushing out my coolant and later on changing my transmission fluid.

thanks my main concern at first was how tight the filter was going to be since i seen a lot of people complaining that the dealership seems to tighten them to the point that you have the crush the filter just to unscrew it. but i was wrong it was actually easy to unscrew. i use a ziplock bag to prevent the oil from leaking all over. what you do is as soon as you loosen the filter and are able to turn it with you're hand, put the zip lock bag over it and completely turn the filter from outside the bag. and boom! mess free.

I like the trick of the ziplock bag. Never heard of that before. Then again, when I was learning how to change oil, we'd dump the used in the empty field next to the house. It came from the earth, we were just returning it. God, we were ignorant SOB's.

I've been using Mobil 1 5W-50 since our local Napa carries it and run sales on it periodically.
