finding a dealer who has the technical expertise to do it.....without damaging the car or forgetting to refill with fresh oil. Heaven help you if your new car needs anything more.......

Hi there,
Completely straight forward and the car uses 5.5 quarts and a PF46 filter.
Allthebest, c4c5

I did it myself in 30 minutes - 25 of which were waiting for the last drips of old oil. It's an easy job with ramps and a floor jack for the rear of the car so all the oil drains out. I'm still using UPF-44s instead of the 46 now recommended.
