So I decided to go ahead and do the fluid changes today. Advance Auto had a special on Mobil1 Oil (5 qts.)and filter $29.99.

I also bought 3 Quarts of transmission oil. It wasn't on sale. Around 31 bucks for the oil. I bought a pump for that.

I removed the rear wheel and did the air filter. Since I did the snorkel delete last time I changed it, it was barely dirty. It didn't look like a shop vac filter. I strongly recommend the snorkel delete for this reason.

You do realize that Mobil 1 isn't a true synthetic anymore right? Ever since that whole legal battle with Castrol.
ummmm.... my bottles say fully synthetic. So I have no Idea what you are talking about

What is most cool is that your GF's son actually helped out. :up:

Most kids would rather stay inside playing a video game....heaven forbid any activity that requires being physical. :panic:
Yeah he was thrilled to help out . He learned alot I think.

So I took it for a test drive and got everything nice and warm. The shifting is smoother for sure. Although to make it any smoother I will have to do some of the shifter mods.

Just something about driving after doing an oil change...some how feels like everything is running so much better.
