1st oil change

I must say im glad on my 2010 that they moved the oil filter. its easier to get to now then it was and you dont have to use a stupid wrench for it. Only complaint i have is it looks like they made a nifty little plastic trough for the oil to run out of when you remove the oil filter. Turn out thats not what it does. the oil runs straight down, which is what i was used to seeing when i did my 2006 oil changes...however i ddint have my used oil pan in that location. I thought something special was going to happen,.......and it was...oil on my floor. O well, nothing a little floor dry cant fix...
actually second oil change now that i think of it, dealer did the first one.....

That "catch tray" is worthless. I think mine is still clean after 4 oil changes.

I just had "Chester the Molester" serviced for the 3rd time at my local stealer.

15,000 mile service and he actually has less than 10,000 miles but since I bought a 'service plan', I gotta get him serviced every 5 months regardless of mileage so's I gets my money's worth.

Oil change, filter and tire rotation. And new wiper blades.

got my first oil change at about 3000 miles. Dealer overfilled oil. I had to take out about 1 qt to get it in the crosshatch area.
