First oil change
I planned on ordering Royal Purple 5W-30 motor oil this week. I worked myself into an oil change frenzy and could not wait though.
I bought Mobil1 5W-30 and True grip type B oil wrench at Wal Mart. The wrench worked without a problem. I used my Mityvac 7200 fluid evacuator and siphoned 4 quarts of oil out of oil pan, [filled gallon milk jug with old oil]. I now have a nice white K&N oil filter,[HP-1008]. White filter really visible. I almost bought Wal Mart brand synthetic motor oil. Does anyone use or know about this oil? I have 2800 miles on my car and will change again 5 to 7,000 miles. The oil wrench was only $2.96, good, I will not use it again since K&N filter has a nut on end of their filter. |
did you say type B oil wrench? i saw someone in the forum mentioned type f. I wonder which one works....
|
Type B wrench from Stride Tool. My guess is the sizing is by manufacturer and not to any standard. I recall the F size also. My wrench is True Grip and it was $2.96.
sunlight silver GT also |
I am still really wondering which route to go with oil. I just need to make up my mind. I am going to run dino for sure until 3000 miles.
I can get Royal Purple for $5.65 a quart no tax. But for now I am running Castrol GTX. |
Royal Purple
I believe Royal Purple is $5.25 a quart at www.rpmoil.com.
About $63 a case with free shipping and no sales tax. |

I would not want sludge of course. Hopefully I left the sludge in my younger beaters days. I will drain from plug in a couple of years just see though. I will try to go 5 to 7,000 miles without changeing oil. I plan on using Royal Purple 5W-30 or Mobil 1 from now on. The oil we are using now is thick as water not like 20W- 50 oil in my past so if bad stuff is suspended in oil it is going up the hose. I did wonder about this before I bought evacuator two years ago though.
