What all do I need to change the oil? This is my WAG:
Oil Filter (4) Quarts of Oil (What Grade?) Oil Catch Pan Oil FIlter Wrench
Am I missing anything?
Can you still dispose of your old oil at PepBoys or another Auto Parts store? What auto parts store do you recommend to get the above listed items?
TIA,
Gary
Motorcraft or Wix
4.5 quarts unless it's a 4.0 V-6 which takes 5 quarts.5W20 semi synthetic blend. Motorcraft 5W20 semi synthetic is an excellent oil and would be my recommendation.
Best to ask the store.
Whatever is convenient and fits your budget.
Wrench for drain plug
Rags
Hand cleaner.
I wear nitrile (blue) gloves when changing the oil....I find that getting used oily residue (and odor) off my hands and out from under fingernails a chore.
Yes
WalMart unless a local Auto parts store has a "oil rebate" deal going on. Check your Sunday paper ads for "sales" flyers/ oil coupons
