As far as the filter removal tool, I bought a decent one off Amazon for under 15 dollars, works like a charm each time (as recent as this weekend).

+1 on synthetic oil, cheap insurance and can be had for very low money at Wallyworld as KlausC mentioned. I was running Mobil 1 0w40 for the past few years and with this weekends change I decide to try the highly claimed Castrol 0w40 (german castrol).


Oh, and as for the filter, I personally stick with OEM and get them from FCP or TascaVolvo - make sure you get the drain plug crush washer, it does not normally come with the filter....

One last bit, and a sore subject for me - standard shade tree mechanic car ramps will not work on the car. I acquired a pair recently to make life easier and the front spoiler is too low, and I am unable to use the ramps. I will have to invest in the "longer" and less steep ramp plastic molded ones. For the time being I "get by" with my pump jack and jack stands.

Regard
Steve
