Feels wrong pouring in such clean oil when I know it's just getting mixed with crap. Took 4 quarts out and put 4 in then went for a drive. Surprised to feel the shifts are changed noticibly.SHOnUup said:

I'm going to make it a normal maintenance item now. 4qt's every oil change. It's easy to get to and I like having something to wrench on lol.SHOnUup said:

Datalog time. ;D
Great idea on the oil change interval add-on!I changed my oil for the first time on the SHO. what a pain! the sumabish previous owner must have used an impact gun putting the oil filter on. after fighting it for awhile and even spraying PB Blaster around the gasket, I decided to run to wally world and get a oil filter wrench. I had to use my 1/2" drive ratchet to get the filter off. It started twisting the body of the filter before the filter started to loosen. ughh
I usually let the car cool down for a while before performing anything on her,especially the oil which gets pretty darn hot for my taste,always try to wrap a rag around that 02 sensor wire cause she is always the victim of oil everytime,did it have a M.C filter on there? did the oil look very dirty?
it had an ACDelco filter on it :/ the oil looked like typical used oil. I only drove 1000 miles on the oil after i bought it to get it to 15k. I'll do a 5k interval here on out.
changing the oil on this car will be simple in the future now that the filter isn't welded on there. my old Marauder you were guaranteed to get oil over all sorts of wire harnesses and the steering rack. Ford even put a drain hole on the cross member because of oil spillage during oil changes. the oil filter is at a 45 degree angle just like the 302/5.0

I found this type of filter wrench not to long ago and it is the best filter wrench I've ever used.92BlackGT said:

Had the oil changed the other day and while the car was there had the trany flushed and the RWD unit's fluid changed. I was a little shocked that I could actually feel a significant difference after I got her back. The service manager LOVED the look of the MDesign intake too.
Has anyone else noticed a before and after difference have having the fluids switched out?

There are quite a few members here that experienced a smoother better shifting and probably better performance after doing the above mentioned,and especially after doing the PTU which could be somewhat challenging for us guys with the PP,great to hear you took the extra measure in changing out the fluids and enjoying the Mdesign intake.
