I will change my oil in between services, every 7500km. I use the genuine motorcraft filter it only costs me $7 and the dealer won't know that I've done it if changing the oil myself ever becomes an issue. The oil I use is Castrol GTX3 because my dealer uses Castrol and I will only put 15W-40 in it because it's the recommended grade. And I drain it when it's warm because it flows better.

Guys I am pretty sure that their is a blurb on the side of the K&N Box stating that manufacturers can't void warranty etc for using filters other that their own, unless thay provide them free of charge?? (anyone clarify) so hopefully shouldn't matter what filter you use!

The best advantages of warm, hot oil flushes is the sediment is suspended in the oil once at operating temp and also flows so much better!

watch the burns though

I do a oil change at 5000 ks or before, it depends on what the oil is like(if the oil is blackish most of the contents in the oil have been used), also you do not have to warm up the engine before draining the oil, just as long as the last time you turn the car off it was hot.

so if you were to jack the car up or use a hoist, dont start the car up because the oil has drained into the sump,

and if you start the engine up to warm it up the oil still remains in the head for a while.

for best results if you want to drive it up on ramps do it when it is shot at night and drain it the next morinig.

PM ms700,
