    and how many quarts? Is the oil filter right below the the radiator because i want to swap that out too?
    I just did this for the first time this weekend. I used 5 quarts and chose Royal Purple 5w30, it's supposed to be a cold winter here in Philly this year.

    The oil filter is right under the radiator in the front. I tried to find a post about the oil filter location myself, and checked the manual, but couldn't find it stated. I guess it's pretty obvious once you get under there but I like to see it in writing to be sure. Especially when it's new to you.

    I had two problems changing the oil. The first, in a post below, was getting the damn filter on there off cause none of the wrenches I could find were small enough. The other was where I put the pan to drain the oil. I gave it about six inches off to the drivers side figuring the oil would kind-of shoot in that direction. A good foot or more would have been better. It came shooting out like a garden hose and just missed the pan, overshooting by a couple inches.

    Boy it was a mess. ;eekr;
