How-to: Oil change

[TourDeForce]

Was reading the oil change write up & thought to add this:

I wrap a folded piece of aluminum foil around the front of the Y pipe near the oil drain plug. Any oil splash or impact that would normally hit the exhaust is now contained on a small, disposable bit of aluminum.

The fold(s) makes sure the foil thickness is enough to avoid a tear during install.

I do the same, as well..

works like a charm.

Super Tech oil. $3/qt, independently tested and found to be a very good quality synthetic. Use motorcraft filters. Change ever 3k miles or so. Car has 0 issues, oil is always clean, done and done. No need to be spending tons of money on "super deluxe made with parts from de-commissoned submarines" oil.

Oh and yes I use 6.5 quarts too.
