I just finished my first oil change on our V8 and it was pretty easy thanks to the info I got off this site. I agree on the drain plug, man it must have been some juice monkey training for a show and needed to train a little more on my drain plug. I actually thought it must be a left hand thread because I could not budge that thing for the life of me.
Oh one more thing to add to the list, you also should have some band-aids handy, because after you do crack the drain plugs, it usely ends in some bleeding knuckles, elbows or anything else you wheer using for leverage....
Plus for all the Canadian guys on here 8.5 quarts is equal to 8 liters.
Anyways thanks for the info guys it really was helpful and I will do my best to share once we have a little more time with our new toy.
