Default Re: oil change increase

I always change my own oil.

My FSS said I had 1,800 miles to go until next oil change but I had driven 7,000 miles on the oil and decided to change it anyway.

8 quarts of Mobil 1 0W40 at $5.67 ea.
Napa Filter w/ o rings #FIL1226 $11.99

Total with tax less than $60.


Oh ya I should mention that 8 quarts with a filter change puts me right on the full mark on the dipstick and the dash display also says "OK" for oil level. I drain my oil the conventional way by removing the drain plug and even jack the drivers side up slightly to be sure every last drop drains out the right side of the oil pan.
