k&n 1004 worked nicely thanks to previous post... a bit expensive...where you order your oem filters from

 

man that filter was a toughy to get out by finally got it out, i have a oil wrench filter but it was for my other car and didn't fit sadly... had to use a huge wrench a few times..

 

doesnt get too cold here often...and summer rolling around.... good to use 10w-30 syn.. when i took it to the dealers to get its first oil changed they put 10w-30 as well...

 

I just changed my oil, but used a K & N 1010, not a 1004. Advance told me a 1010 would fit and it did. I believe the 1004 is just slightly wider.

 

I see now, we are about to get dumped on with snow up here in CT. I am gonna go to the dealership for the oil change because its the first one and all. What kinda oil do you run as far as synthetic goes.

I was thinking Mobil 1 or even Castrol Syntec. Could we even run Royal Purple?

They don't have their 09 parts list up yet, but if you contact RusselM, either via PM or his forum section, he can get the part number for you.

 

Royal Purple will work, that's what i use.

 

The oil filter should be the same as the earlier models.

 

Royal Purple's oil isn't all it's cracked up to be. Mobil 1 is a great oil for most. If you want to go above and beyond, then Amsoil is the way to go. But really, IMO, Mobil 1 is the best bang for buck in oil.

 

Hmmm ok.

 

i keep hearing about this "amsoil" oil but i cant find it anywhere in miami?! what makes it so good?

ok found a place with the oil..
