I decided that today would be the day to change the oil, filter, air filter, pollen filter, and swap out the front drop links for the replacement ones I received for free.

I went with Royal Purple 0-W40. We'll see how well it does compared to M1. I don't go in for all the oil analysis, but I do keep an eye on performance, how the motor runs and sounds, etc. I will say that this stuff wasn't cheap! $10.25 a quart.

They're proud of their oil.

BTW, no metal shavings or chunks of metal in the oil filter.

Working on our cars isn't hard at all. Basic maintenance is a breeze if one has a floor jack and a couple of jack stands.

I think I saved around $200 today by doing this work myself, and I have the sore muscles to prove it. Sheesh I'm getting old.
