OK, here is my new list (some stuff I already have):

MUST HAVES:

[ ] 5 Quarts of Mobile 1 Synthetic
[ ] New Oil Filter (Brands? NAPA Gold or Baldwin I will try for)
[x] PCV 193
[x] Box End Wrench Set
[x] Socket Set
[ ] Oil Pan
[x] Funnel
[x] Cardboard Box
[x] Jack

OPTIONAL STUFF:

[ ] Filter Wrench
[ ] Jack Stands
[ ] Creeper
[ ] New 14mm Copper Washer

I will be collecting the tools I do not already have over the next couple weeks. I guess my only remaining questions would be about different brands for oil filters, and more about this copper washer and if I should worry about it.

Also, how do you "torque to spec" - I guess I mean, how tight is right? I don't want to bust anything, but I guess a leak is better than breaking or stripping something. Any tips here on tightening? (this will help me in other maintenance areas as well)

Thanks again everyone.

Sweating in Chicago,
