[QUOTE="Craig Childs, post: 749780, member: 66059"] I am going to do my own oil change today, and I was wondering if anyone had any tips to make it go more smoothly for me. I have never done this myself, and I obviously have no idea exactly what to do. I do know the basics of course, but I mean things like putting a little oil in the filter before installing it and little technical stuff like that. FYI, I decided to go with the Pennzoil Platinum Full Synthetic 5W-30 5 quart jug and a Fram filter (which I will be returning due to reading all the past posts about it). I chose this because my uncle owns a shop that only uses Pennzoil and it runs beautifully with it, and I have heard so many good things about synthetic, so... I have an '05 4x2 XLS with just over 17,000 miles, if that helps Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance :) [/QUOTE]
