Default RE: First Oil Change

I switched to Amsoil in the reccomended weight.....and reccomended filter. I used to have cold-stall issues. On severerly cold days my car would start, then stall. Amsoil oil and filter solved this for me.

No more cold start problems.

They offer up to some ungodly amount (25K?) protection....but I'll pay to have it changed every 3-5K miles.....

My engine noise dropped like a rock when I did this oil change....(along with an engine flush before going full Synthetic)..you can still hear the engine.....it just screams "THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU in a different key now."

5 Qt's Amsoil W/ Filter/engine flush before full synthetic to get all the semi-synth out was $240.00.....that included an interior detail.

Make sure your service center has AMSOIL and filter in stock.......or better yet....order it yourself.....and watch them install it. (what I did)

Thank you all for the help!

Just got home from Autozone with a K&N oil filter and 6 quarts of Motorcraft 5w-30 synthetic blend.

whatever you use make sure its full synthetic and the right weight. i use valvoline full synthetic and its worked great for me, and always change the filter (i prefer the K&N also). oh yeah. 5w30 too...
