This biggest b***h is getting the undertray off. Mitsu uses nylon screws that go into a 1 way nylon insert and they strip far too easily. If your undertray is off already, it's cake!

I changed my Power steering fluid this weekend and the other usual stuff I do for my oil change, just thought I would let everyone know. It was easy to do, just takes some time and I would recommend doing it w/ someone if you plan on tackling it yourself, as far as bleeding goes.

Do it! Order your filter & crush washer from Russell and get some oil from Wally world in a 5 QT. container and youre set. All for a grand total of under $30.00

^I think he was talking about us. Me, Billy, and Ryon. We all just like to hang out and install things, not that it takes all 3 of us.

+2 for the amsoil. Moble 1 is no longer a true synthetic. For what it costs to be a preferred customer it only costs an extra $5 per oil change for better oil.

AMSoil begin in 1970s.. and it used alot in racing quad, motocross then racing cars.. AMSoil did alot better than Redline oils.. oh yeah it true.. and Purple royal is GARBAGE! it not syn oil it like OIL base mixed small amount of syn.. like blends..

AMSoil show proven results. and dyno proven.. and better friction and run longer

I found out another interesting fact also. C66 racing (major Amsoil dealer/races z06 vettes) said that marine oils are better. They are allowed much better additives. The EPA has cracked down on how much additives are allowed to control emissions. I guess anything below group IV base stocks have had cut backs in additives. Marine and racing oils are not effected though. Thought I would relay some info I was given.
