Found GC - going to start changing my own oil The local Autozon has about 50 qts of the Castrol 0-30w Syntec. On the back it says, "Made in Germany". I am hoping this is what everyone is using. Can't remember the last time I changed my own oil. Cost me $25 now to pay someone, I guess I can do it myself for same - oil is $5.29/qt. Anything I should know before I start doing it myself. I guess I will use the extended filter that people use here and switch from 3000 mi changes to 5000 mi changes. Thoughts on the above?

If you can't find the WIX filters (I for one can't) and don't want to spend $10-$13 on a K&N....the Napa ones are substantially better than most commercial filters as well. I've heard from a few different places that WIX in fact private labels them for Napa and it's the same thing, and in my case far easier to find.
