Re: Servicing engine oil and filter.
The key points for those of us who drive our cars as fun vehicles with minimal annual mileage is change the oil and filter each year. I use Mobil1 0-40w oil and Mann filters not only in my Crossfire 3.2L but also in my MB E350. My MB 3.5 is now approaching 200K miles and has always used this combination of lubrication performed at approximately every 7K mile interval. I live in New England and store my Crossfire during the winter once the ice and snow arrives.
I like the idea of using a pump as a convenient way to remove the oil from the pan but consider draining it from the bottom helps to minimize the buildup of spent oil residue in the oil pan over time.
