The 5 quart jug of Mobil1 0W40 is less than $27.00 at Wal-Mart. The fleece filters are readily available for less than $10 (much less if you shop around and stock up when you find a deal). I'm calculating the oil change with your DIY labor at closer to $65.00 and you'll have some oil left over for "top offs" between changes.

What does it cost to change the oil and filter on any car?? The difference is not that much . . . AND . . . you're putting the BEST synthetic oil available into your baby. That's partly why "at almost 200,000 miles she's still strong" . . . ENJOY your Crossfire!
