Advice please. 1996 ford contour gl zetec 116,000 miles. I called ford
> and they had the oil and filter $49.00 to change.
That's insane. Most places will change the oil and filter for you for around $15 or $20.
Are they going to do a whole tune-up or something too, for that price?
If not, changing it yourself is easy, if you have the tools (inexpensive) and the desire.
I would like to switch to MOBIL 1
I don't know about the differences and tradeoffs, so no comment about this.
And what kind of spark plugs should I install?
The ones that go with the engine. :-). Go to a local parts shop and ask them for the spark plugs for that car. The ones for my BII were $1.50 apiece. Or just have the service station doing the oil change do that job as well.
I have had the car for only 5 months.
I hope this is your second oil change you are talking about!
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP
You're welcome.
