Changed the oil today. Quite easy, actually. Did it after brought up to normal operating temp.

The hardest part was getting her up on ramps. I made a more gradual incline with pieces of 2x8 with blocks nailed midway along the span, which I also use for my Jag.

Wearing thick rubber gloves from Home Depot, I shielded my face from possible splash when unscrewing the drain plug, but there was none. 7mm allen key (kinda small, IMHO). No prob.

New filter, O-ring, and she took 9qts EXACTLY of Mobil 1 0w40. One bar from the top showing on the dash, triple checked the dipstick, old-school style.

Finshed off by giving her a good cleaning, just in time to put her to sleep for a few long months. *SIGH*
