[QUOTE="blert, post: 1046552, member: 64702"] Sounds about right. Is around $9/qt around my area. Siphon is siphon, the hard part is getting it started. A small hand pump can make it easier, you don't want that stuff in your mouth. To drop the pan and change the filter you will want a [B]big [/B]catch pan, plenty of rags and paper towels, and a torque wrench. Make sure to get the correct filter. There are two, one for 4x2 and one for 4x4. Loosen all the bolts but [B]don't remove them[/B]. Use something flat to pry at a corner and let it drain. Slowly start loosening the bolts more and remove them. More fluid will drip all over you. Support the pan so it does not fall and soak you. Can be very messy so just take your time and be careful. Clean the pan and magnet inside. Brake cleaner is a great friend, get to know it. Clean off all old gasket material from both surfaces. You may find these odd little cylinder shaped pieces of metal stuck to your magnet, not to worry, they are from the gasket and can fall out of an old gasket when replacing. Be sure to replace the magnet. Watch a YouTube video, doesn't really matter what vehicle (something close will do), to get an idea of what to expect. [/QUOTE]
