Send me your 'old' spin on Mann filters :)

Your car has filter inserts, also made by Mann. You might need a new tool to take the cover off.

Get your synthetic oil at Costco or WallyWorld, 5 quart containers.

91 octane is hard to get in some areas of CO, 89 octane will still work. The owner's manual is difficult to interpret because they do not specify Anti-knock Index which the USA and few other countries use, the rest of the world uses RON.

If you have a turbo, you will need the higher octane like 89+, if you want to push the rpms up over 5000. Once the engine begins to knock (you will never hear it), management takes over to enrich the burn and may limit the rpms a bit.
