Thumbs up just drain the S#&* out of that oil pan!

well man all i can say to you is i just changed mine to mobil 1 synthetic and wow! anyways when you jack your car up do it only in the front and jack that thing up as far as it can go. reason being the oil pan nut is pointing towards the back so if you jack the front up a hell of alot you will easly be sure and get at least 95% of the oil out. let it drain for about 20 minutes if you are scared. And no offince the dad but, older people get scared of all this new age stuff so just smile and nod towards him and he will happy!

First of all it all depends. i recomend just going to CHEVRON the olny good gas out there. If you ever notice that sign they always have posted up call " techron" all that is , is fuel injector cleaner, shells got the "v - power" which is about the same but you have to get the 92 octane for that crap. if you get a bottle of that fuel injector cleaner do it but make sure you read the directions and put it in when your take is bareboned w/ gas and then fill that tank up at least 75% of the way. Oh ya and dont buy that bs octane booster either, STUPID IT IS! unless you got a turbo and a for some reason dont want to pay the $3.00 a gallon for the 92 octane. anyways moral is follow directions and dont get the stuff w/ octane booster in it!
