If you filled your oil filter you couldn't just pour the literature value for the amount oil in to your engine, you would need to try and figure out how much you put in the filter and then deduct that or you will over fill with oil. No need to fill your oil filter first.

sounds like a good way to make a mess lol. it will fill itself on startup, you could possibly over fill by doing that

yes!

and changing your oil is very easy, the problem with it is finding a place to take the old stuff. If it wasnt for that (and if i had jacks) i would do it myself

u can get a jack at walmart or u can just buy ramps from walmart...i imagine the ramps cant be that much. they would give u enough room to get in and what ya need to do

RavensChild · May 22nd, 2008, 12:21 AM

^ok where to take the oil?

stang300a · May 22nd, 2008, 02:34 AM

take the oil to ur local autoparts store and most of them recycle it. i usually take mine to i think its autozone or kragen i cant remember but yea just call the place before u go and see if they recycle oil.
