Thanks everyone, I have always done my own on previous cars and this is the first car I ever took it anywhere. So I think in 2000 miles I will be doing it myself

any fram 7317. Ph7317,tg7317,dg7317,xg7317. The x2 is the best out of all the fram. I don't like the double guard because it has a teflon in it.

I use a Purolator One filter and what ever oil is cheapest or whatever is at the house. I've changed it every 5,000 miles. I'm probably going to start putting Mobil 1 now though.

if u go to discount or any auto shop they have lil containers that u can pour the oil inot and return to the store.....it cost like an extra buck but still it is worth the headache......and ur not like my friend...which just fills up empty containers or milk or oj with it and then disposes of it.......SOOOO WRONG

I use the OEM filter sometimes, there isnt anything wrong with them. Besides they are the same as most other filters out there. They are made by some outside company
