I will be changing my oil for the first time ever in my life this weekend. The cap says Mobile so that is what i am getting. It did not recommend what kinda filter so ill search forums for that advice. Anyway...just wanted to say hello to all...i am sooooooooo excited to be here!

If you want to run Amisol contact evox2nr. I run brad penn which you can get at all aspects. The stock oil filter is fine so just buy a mitsu filter. And welcome. We have a great evo x technical expert in the area so he could help you with a lot of stuff.

Yup, that was me. I burned up two of my tires - the outside ones on those long fast turns got messed up pretty hard. Wondering if you had the same result

Thx so much all! I will try to find this amsoil, and run by mits to get a filter. Is the filter hard to get off? I work out regularly but am certainly not a bodybuilder (icky). Also, i am confused about the drain. How long should I let it drain? Why not let it drain overnight? Why not just let out the oil after it sits all night and has cooled and gathered at the lowest point? Am I obsessing? Not looking forward to getting hot oil all over me!

hot oil isn't to bad if you let the car sit for about 3 to 4 beers then get started you should be fine. welcome to the fourm!

Don't let Will help you change your oil. He sprayed hot oil all over my face after the car had only sat for 5min. It was hot as $hit. he even managed to fill my ear with oil. Thanks Will

Mr. BlackCarbonEVO, why does 'indoctrination' sound scary? Also, I posted my intro on the newbie page .
