I finally changed my first oil change at 3100 miles today. I put in Mobile1 5-20W. With the help of this great thread, I can visualize and expect what's coming. I did not spill any oil in my garage. The skid is easy to take off.
I have a hard time to take the canister off. It kept slipping when I try to unscrew it. I have a 65-67 wrench. I used a hacksaw and saw off about 1/8 inch and it worked perfectly.
Thanks
mhadden for the great tutorial....
